I used to bring it home in October and do a turn-around to empty our summer stuff and repack our winter Myrtle Beach stuff before heading south about a week later. This also restarted the 6-month insurance clock.
Starting last year we did not bring the trailer south for the winter nor will we do so this year. Family commitments only permit us to be away for about 6 weeks in the winter so we rent a villa in the campground for that time frame. Still get to be with all our friends who camp there all winter.
We've always been very clear with both US and Canadian Customs about our trailer being in the US each summer. When had our Class A there, we told them that we actually travel from our campsite to places within the US.
Some of our friends who winter in Myrtle Beach have been subject to a county residence fee. Apparently inspectors travel the campgrounds taking photos of vehicle tags. In the all years that we were there we never were subject to any fees. Not sure what their criteria was. I can't remember the amount but I recall it wasn't very much.
