Wow that's a good bit of reversing to get out!We bought this house last year because it was the best one in our price range that the previous owners already had a motorhome on the drive.
Here's ours

It takes quite a bit of cooperation between the two of us but we have had a few sticky moments !Wow that's a good bit of reversing to get out!
Disco drivers are very nice, see my neighbour when I had a caravan. On one occasion he reversed his wife's Focus back to his boundary line as he knew I was going away. But caravans will turn on the spot so just bumped it off the kerb.We bought ours to fit on the drive at our last house. ( 7.3m) we could still open the garage door with a couple of feet to spare. There were covenants about parking, but the original developer is no longer around so we didn't take any notice of it. Our neighbour made a couple of comments about it being difficult to get off his drive because our van was parked front in to the house, but he was an idiot and always drove his Discovery onto the drive instead of reversing it on. We didn't take any notice of him either.
Now we have moved, our driveway is 1/4 Mile long. I suppose we could get a longer van now.........
If this is aimed at me then we aren't moving just to accommodate our MH, we are renting at the moment and are looking to buy, MH parking isn't a must but it is something we would prefer.

You have a different situation to most people and I can understand your wanting to be more considerate to your neighbours being in a 'barn conversion' development where you are all closer together and want to retain the ambience of the place but for most people living in more usual housing stock that's not an issue.We have various covenants where i live . No caravans or MHs , no commercial vehicles with signage and all building alterations have to be approved by a majority of other residents .
We are all shareholders in a limited company .
We ALL adhere to the rules of the covenants as it is to the benefit of us all , my MH is in storage and i sought permission to overnight the MH on the development (barn conversion ) pre MH trips which was approved.
I would never wantonly break a covenant and " see if anyone complained ".
And an excellent deterrent against thieves!!It takes quite a bit of cooperation between the two of us but we have had a few sticky moments !
Park it face out and get a parking ticket? How does that work if it is on your property?We keep our on the drive. It's always plugged in, secure and handy as an extended bedroom when we have visitors. No covenants but if I park it face out I get a parking ticket. ...
I don't have this problem because I don't have a drive. We have a residents parking permit for one of our local car parks...but, if I did have a drive to put it on I would be more concerned to not fall out with the neighbours. You wouldn't want to come out to find some irate person had keyed your prized possession...or worseYou can probably ignore the covenant as it it was probably set by the builders, assuming this is on some sort of estate. It would have been written to keep the place tidy while they were still selling the new houses. They won't be interested in pursuing it now.
However, it isn't a good idea to fall out with your neighbours so you need to either ask them or put yourself in their position, is your MH going to block anyone's view or dominate the street?

Wouldn't even matter if I didn't live in the road I wouldn't be putting up with that parked hanging over the pavement. People like that should have the licence taken off them & there feet broken to ensure they can't do it any more.Disco drivers are very nice, see my neighbour when I had a caravan. On one occasion he reversed his wife's Focus back to his boundary line as he knew I was going away. But caravans will turn on the spot so just bumped it off the kerb.

We have a policeman living two doors away! That helps!The only problem with parking on the drive is when the M H isn't there every one knows your probably away so house is unoccupied

What's getting in the way? No decent landscapers round there?Moved in the last year and only just getting around to sorting a proper space for the MH in the front garden.
Yes like the demand to rebuild the local church roof for £150000 because of some ruling that is hundreds of years old against the property and VERY ENFORCEABLE in the courts because the Church Law of the Cof E Has the full power of the Law of the Land with the rights going back into history, same with t Royal Estates and the Duchy of Cornwall.
