We have fulltimed since 2003 and spent our first winter in south TX didn't like it... Wind... damp.. wet... salt. Next winter went to Quartzsite and stayed the first year in a RV park. At the end of that first season got solar panels installed at Solar Discount in Q as we figured we wanted to go in the future boondock in the BLM. We did that for now many years. Loved it. $180 a season, sure propane costs and gas for the gen do add up. But wanted to be out in the open and have a campfires so RV parks didn't appeal to us.
We now travel in the late spring, summer and fall in our RV and after a couple of months at the end of the season boondocking again in Quartzsite.
More thoughts on boondocking or RV resorts.
My spouse got sick this year while boondocking in Q and had to be rushed to Havasu City to the hospital. So I moved our 5th wheel to a fancy RV Resort up there. Very nice but so closed in. It was nice at first but got old with the next RV within touching distance almost. People were spending their entire snowbird winter in this one place. It was nice but more like a parking lot.
I guess what I'm saying if all you ever do is head south to a RV Resort and think that is the only option it might be time to think outside the box and explore boondocking in the BLM somewhere at least for part of your time to explore the options.
