I try not to, I don't want to be "that guy"


There is a rule about bringing your muddy 4x4 in and letting the mud pile up under it. I break that one 100% of the time. Also there is a rule about leaving your trash cans outside, but there isn't room for me to put them anywhere else, so we keep them on the side of the house. (which also isn't allowed)
Other than that there is a list of obvious things, that I wouldn't consider anyhow, but it comes down to the HOA is fairly powerless at this point. They can try to fine me, but if I decide not to pay the fines, I don't have to. They wouldn't want to use "Our" community account toward legal fees to make me pay a fine of 10 or 20 dollars.
I don't think anyone has been fined yet, or will get fined, and there isn't a fine listed in the HOA document, its just best to try to be a good neighbor and make everyone happy.

 

We have an association out here and we do meet annually and try to maintain some minimal rules. The association covenants were written 40+ years ago and as Curtis noted are hard to enforce unless there are dues and a fund to hire a lawyer. One of the reasons we do meet and review stuff is because one of there other areas out here had an issue with someone moving in an old house. Because they were not active and had never reviewed building issues, they had no standing to enforce covenants. Our association does have to approve major changes to houses and the building of additional buildings etc. We have a committee elected with authority. Again, if someone decided to just go ahead and do something it would be difficult as there are no funds to hire an attorney to enforce stuff.

 

One of the guys I used to work with was not allowed to park his company work vehicle iun his driveway- so he had to park it in the garage

 

Ours is not that strict, but it does outline what they want the neighborhood to be like when everything is running smooth. We have never been approached by the HOA committee about doing anything wrong. We have followed more rules than the average neighbors. We did landscaping and trees and shrubbery, which the handbook outlines, and many neighbors, including the ones that were there before us still have not. I am not sure that adds to the value of the house, but HOA seems to think it does.

 

Well I found this https://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/6034398069.html called and left a message-- Just to see.

 

Man... I tell ya, that just screams red flags... you can tell it has leaked water by the pattern in the dust. I would be a little afraid of whether it got winterized or not. It might need to have all of its water lines replaced.
It looks like it was fairly top of the line when it was new, but has sat uncovered/unused for such a long time. I would certainly offer way less. (remember the campers in South Dakota, and their smell?
Justin seems to be the guy who knows how to get a cheap camper. Maybe he can keep an eye out for one.
I assume you would have to remove your Tommy lift if you purchased a camper like that, is that correct?

 

Since you are going to have to remove your tommy lift, you should consider seeing what you can sell it for, and it may help you pay for your camper.

 

Hmmm a Tommy lift would be nice for my truck. I wonder what the range of motion is on that. Mainly for stock height trucks?

 

Yeah, just by the pictures alone I wouldn't even go look at it. Like Curt said, it just looks neglected as can be. I've went to look at campers that were great in the pics and ended up being junk. This one I can only imagine......but that's just me!

Chad, I saw this in the nextech adds. It is here in Manhattan.

 

Yay I looked at the add again and thought that it was way to far out to go look at

I shouldn't have to remove my tommy lift I wouldn't think-- If I did I would sell it


Garret you would have first dibs-- height wise it fits any truck it is very universal fit kinda thing


Thanks for the opinions guys :-)

I found this on Craigslist here today, Chad.

 

cool-- that is about what I am looking for-- now I just need to plant that money tree--- considering I was just ripped off for a hotel stay I haven't taken yet.

 

Just have Mrs. Flip get it for because you are a nice guy.

 

You already paid for the room, just take your sledge hammer, bolt cutters, lock pick set, and hack saw with your receipt in hand and stay there anyway.
