Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

My homeowners Association has a clause that says: "No Trailer, camper, boat, commercial vehicle or other equipment shall be permitted to be stored on any property with the properties unless placed on a portion of the Lot that is acceptable to the architectural committee. Further, no maintenance, repair, rebuilding, dismantling repainting or servicing of any kind may be performed on the above with the exception of normal washing and polishing incident and necessary to such equipment."

I have to leave town for 3 days to help pull a trailer back from another state and will be leaving my camper, which can be taken off of my pick up truck, in my driveway. It will not imped pedestrian traffic or anything else. Can they consider that "stored"? Is there a "time" limit that would be considered to be stored "to the common man"?

Well, in my personal opinion, three days is not "storage," it's merely parking. I think a week is about when a reasonable person could being to think of it as storage. Opinions may differ.
