Yes, meters make sense for permanent places, and a lot of snowbirds are of this type, sticking to certain camp and paying annual rent. This also helps the business to survive, rent is coming all year round. Though annual rent - divided by 12 months - is much lower than what a transient tourist would pay for a month, and cost of living is climbing. A grim future, as I see it. It's not that difficult to have a flexible system, with >1 month rentals on a meter and higher daily rates that include electricity. I think camp owners just don't see much future in this whole enterprise. Keeping camp for as long as they can, and then sell all or part of it.
