Have you been in Casa Grande on a warm day when the wind is strong from the west? You do like the smell of feed lots? And after a week or two, what are you going to do in Casa Grande? You're not close any arts centers, museums, good shopping, or good restaurants. Florence is a LOOOONG drive away from the valley, so not much to do.
There are a few parks in Mesa that sell their lots outright, as well as a few that rent. I think you would be well served to spend a couple of winters (3-5 months) in different spots to see whether you really like them or not. After 5 years in Mesa, we found the park we like and put a park model on a lot so that we can spread out during the winter stay and get back into the motorhome for summer travel.
