RV resorts in Florida

Has anyone else noticed that rv rental parks are becoming scarce? The park we are currently at has made it clear they want to sell all the lots and don't want renters. Another place we checked with basically said if you want to be here 3 months, then buy a lot. We don't want to rent to you.

It seems that renting in Florida is going to become more difficult each year for those that want to have a long term rental. We don't want to buy; we aren't ready to settle and for the price of the lots and all the additions, you can buy a house.

Looks like we will be looking elsewhere for the winter months...

    Not only Florida parks but I seem to run into a lot of parks that are nearly full of permanent residents. Like my grandfather said....half a loaf of bread is better than nothing.

    Tourists and seasonals vs people who are faced with lower wages in today's job market and find an RV better than an apartment may be part of it? Guaranteed monthly income by people who are more captive and reluctant to move.
