we are going full timing in the summer and wanted to ask the full timers what the advantages of weekly stays as opposed to monthly. i know it's very subjective, but i'm reffering to places where we don't have friends or family. the rates are considerably less for monthly, but doesn't include electricity in most sites. does the electricity tend to run higher in a rv park? we have a 24ft. trailer.
thanks, appreciate any response.
The advantage of monthly over weekly rates is cost. Monthly rates are lower and the more months you stay the lower the rates. In the park I stay in Ariz. for the winter, I can stay for 3 months and not have to pay for electricity or water. After 3 months I then pay the normal monthly elec. rates. Each RV park might have some slightly different rates but they are basically the same. Call in advance to the RV park(s) you plan on staying at and get specific information. Some of the larger RV resorts also have some restrictions like the year of the RV and the length of the RV or trailer. The park I stay in has a requirement of 26 ft. min. and no older than 10 yrs. without an inspection by the RV management. The inspection is not a big deal, they just want to keep out old trashy beat up RV rigs.
