Our story.
Well, all was good as we sold our S & B in 2003 and went full time and a few years ago decided we needed a backup plan if needed. So went looking for a more permanent winter vacation place in AZ after doing the Quartzsite LTVA thing for years. Everything in Q was priced out of site so expanded and found what we have 40 miles east of Tucson.
As most 55 + people find an RV resort and buy a lot and maybe put a park model on it. We went looking for more of a regular S & B and found a 4 acre all fenced lot with 2300 sq ft three section palm-harbor house with 1200 sq ft steel garage/shop for about the price of a park-model with a lot. High up with great views on dead end road but does have great neighbors who watch over it when we travel for most of the year.
Cost $116K water $200 a year HOA $100 a year for road work Taxes $1300 a year. Ins. $500 a year
That's it, pretty cheap living in the winter season. Camp host last and this coming year for BLM in Idaho.
You can find good winter places but you have to look long and hard.
An RV resort with RV and park models all crowded in wasn't for us. BUT meeting people is an advantage it that is what you are looking for.
All take care,
