* I lived in Florida for over 15 years but I'm spending my first winter in Arizona this year and the main difference I notice, compared to Florida, is that it gets much colder at night here. It's nice during the day, especially with all that sunlight, but the temps drop like a rock starting at sunset, and end up going lower.
A statement like the above might not mean much if you have a S&B (or park model) for a winter place, but in a RV it sure can. It starts off with everyone calling it an early night in the park and heading back to their RV (happy hour.) Then it is a chilly cooking experience in front of the grill for supper. Then it's attempting to heat a poorly insulated RV during the evening TV hours (then into the night.) Then it carry's onto the morning and when it gets warm enough to leave your 300 square foot cocoon. Can it be done, sure it can, just make sure you're not paying too much for the experience if you're in an RV.
So not only should a place be warm, but the number of hours in a day it's warm is important to a RV'er. That's why weather statistics are pretty much worthless when it comes to solely judging the quality of life for an RV'er. A high of 70 means nothing if it is only for one hour.
