Hi, new to the forum and about to be a new motorhome owner for the first time when my Autotrail is delivered in July. As a complete novice I have a lot to learn but have already hit on a potential stumbling block. The question I guess every new owner comes up against is 'where do I park it? ' Well my intention is to park it at home subject to some modification to the drive. However to keep a long story short one of my neighbours has raised an objection and said I should check my deed covenants relating to the house. I have and there is no mention of motorhomes - however there is a covenant restricting the parking of Caravans and Boats. I spoke to my solicitor who said that whilst the language specifically does not mention motorhomes that the covenant on caravans is probably intended to cover them and if my neighbour chose to sue me a judge might find in his favour. However, my dealership says they have come across a number of these cases and in their experience the owner has always won (they have no axe to grind as they already have my deposit).
Sorry for the waffle but I would be interested if anyone else (in the UK) has come up against this and what the outcome was. If there is an existing thread on the subject please point me at it. Thanks
