Fulltime Daniel - there will come a time when you want to slow down and take care of medical needs that require more than a week or two. That's why we got a park model - we needed time to recharge in the winter, wanted to spread out a little, wanted a place to go should one of us unexpectedly die, and we could do that by buying one of the older park models for next to nothing. When we are done using this place, there are outfits that will haul them out for the title - they use them on construction sites and farms for temporary housing. Not only did we get the place for next to nothing, but all of the furniture, washer/dryer, refrigerator, bedding, towels, dishes, etc. were included. We didn't have to move anything from the coach with the expection of our clothes, meds & food. So the motorhome is set up for our summer travels, and the park model allows us some needed downtime at our age. We have been tackling some serious medical issues and appreciate that we have time to do so. Added to that is the yearly maintenance on car and motorhome are done while we are here and we don't have to spend a few days parked in the lots at a service center.
Us out West - yes, new management can cause a huge turnover, but there are lots of firms in areas with loads of park models that are very adapt at moving the park models to new parks, or residents can sell (or just walk away from old models) and leave the park with a problem. BTW - there are wheels (don't have rubber on them right now) under our Park Model. Usually parks that have management change that drives people away find themselves being resold or new managers again the following year while they try and win back their winter visitors.
We are happy with our decision and have planned accordingly for our stage of life. Things change as you age and if you aren't re-evaluating every year or so, you are doing yourself and your partner (if you have one) a great disservice.
