I live and work at a RV Resort in Sarasota, FL. I don't understand why April 1st is the big date to leave. April is a very nice month here. Slower, much less people and traffic. Still dry and sunny.
We see a lot of that in Arizona too. Many are from the midwest and remark that they have to get home to make sure the 'kids' do the planting right. Mind you, the 'kids' that they are referring to are in their 50s and probably WISHING that the folks would spend the month of April somewhere else. :B
People get in runts and don't realize that they may miss some of the best things by not staying a little longer. In Arizona it is starting to get warm, but the nights are cool, the traffic DRAMATICALLY drops, no waiting to get seated at a restaurant, etc. - we love it. Plus there is always rain when we get to Oregon in the spring, so the longer wait just makes the summer travels start off better.
