Annual cost to fulltime
I understand there is no right or wrong answer to this and there are many variables. My question is, What is the average amount you spent to live as a full-timer for one year? $10,000 - $15,000 $...

Where ever did you get your rates for 1 month stays? Way, way high. Of course I noticed that you picked some areas with high priced resorts, but I can tell you that there is no way you need to spend $700 for a month's stay in Portland, OR, and you can stay in the Roseburg/Sutherlin Oregon area (and drive up to Crater Lake) for less than $500 for a month. Nor are overnight stops $45 - - $30 max. You can't get from South Padre Island to Crater Lake in 4 or 5 days. If fact, for us, that is a minimum 1 month trip. Heavens, from S. Padre Island it is a minimum of 4 days just to get out of Texas and why would you do that and not stop at Big Bend National Park?
Also noticed that you have several months stay in Florida and nothing except Crater Lake and Portland on the west coast. Way, Way, Way to much driving out west - - you would be exhausted and not enjoy the trip.

Well Barb I am glad you asked. The prices came from the campgrounds web pages (with amenities that meets my wants) for a single months stay not a seasonal stay on all the listings above. Sure if you're going to stay 3-6 months then the cost is less. Now it is only 2384 Miles from South Padre Island to Crater Lake which for me is only like 39 hours of driving so 4 days. Actually from Jacksonville Florida to LA, California I have made it in 48 hours (69' Mustang not a MH). My daughter and SIL make it from Jacksonville to St Louis in 14 hours. For it to take you a month (30 days) you average 80 miles a day. Besides I don't want to stay in Roseburg/Sutherlin Oregon area (and drive up to Crater Lake) everyday, I would like lake front property. Also $45 for an over night stay is a average, some places that I like to stay can be as high as $132 a night. NOLA French Quarter RV Resort and a couple in southern California being some of them. But actually full timing for under $14K a year while traveling 8800 miles is pretty good in my book. I would rather over estimate than come up short. The about the west coast... I grew up out there and have seen almost all of the things that are of interest.
But wait.... those are the only ones that were on the Top 10 RV sites.... 10 Sites
