Do you think there is any correlation between the percentage of RV's in a RV park and the amount of active fun people residing there? In other words, do you find more fun and friendly people in a park which has 75 percent RV's or one that is 75 percent permanent units?

During our travels we found ALL types .....Class A folks that 'snubbed' their noses at us for being in a 'trailer' and using their 'resort'Permanent/long term folks that dropped everything to lend a hand.Kinda like neighborhoods....Some have NO clue who their neighbors are except in passing Others that have get togethers/interact with each otherI always made the 'effort' of introducing ourselves to folks and then took it from there...friendly/GREAT-----standoffish/OK fine-no skin off my nose In defense of those permanent/long term folks.Isn't that a description that can be used for Snowbirds?Aren't they RVrs AND 'permanent' Does that make them any less OR more fun??

Difficult to say. Depends on where this park is. I'd guess permanent residents are not there for fun. They work.

If it a retirees park like we are in Arizona then all are there for fun.Some are there full time.If your bored where we are it is your own fault.Plenty to do and plenty of people doing it

Apples to orgnage my friend. One of those classic "tastes great or leff filling" debates. Why do you ask? Just curious

Funny how these things spin off in unintended directions. I was not talking about permanent residents who live and work in an area. I was comparing RV parks that are really not RV parks since they are being filled up with "permanent" units for the use of winter visitors."Why do I ask"? Because I can. Also, as I travel around I might base my preference on one kind of park over the other, everything else being equal. I have been called, a "JAR" (Just a renter) before, as an example of one kind of park. I am getting older and that is very common in the "park model" parks than in the predominately RV parks. Just asking, on a slow Saturday afternoon.My question should probably have been, "Which kind of park is the most fun for you?"

Permanent/long term folks that dropped everything to lend a hand.

Kinda like neighborhoods....
Some have NO clue who their neighbors are except in passing
Others that have get togethers/interact with each other

I always made the 'effort' of introducing ourselves to folks and then took it from there...friendly/GREAT-----standoffish/OK fine-no skin off my nose

In defense of those permanent/long term folks.
Isn't that a description that can be used for Snowbirds?
Aren't they RVrs AND 'permanent'

Does that make them any less OR more fun??
