Interesting topic!
I tend to agree with DutchmenSport, there will become a time when you have to hang up the RV keys and graduate to something more permanent.
Here in California we are seeing exactly that issue. We are in an RV park (no park models, no age restrictions) that is adjacent to a 55+ mobile home park, both facilities are owned by the same company that just bought from the original family owners. Both parks have good facilities, each has it's own golf course as well.
We see RV folks graduating to the mobile home park and giving up their RVs, or are parking them over the winter and just transiting from their regular homes. It's something we are thinking about for down the road when our annual transit across the US each winter becomes a hassle.
The new owners floated the idea of removing the 55+ restriction and the folks at the park said a definite NO, I expect that would be the case in other parks as well.
There are homes for sale in the mobile home park (older double wide units selling for half of what a good 5th wheel would cost) so there is some slack, not sure why that is.
