Michael Avila-Cabral and his husband decided in order to keep their family safe he would stay in the motor home instead of in the house.
They are appealing for reason in this unique situation.

"We don't want to make waves. We're just asking the association to approach this not from a rules and regulation standpoint but know that we're just trying to do the best we can - not only for ourselves, but also for the community."
Eyewitness News reached out to the homeowners association for comment but we have not heard back.
The couple say they have spoken with Yucaipa's mayor, and he told them he is working on a possible resolution.
