length of stay
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 do...

Agree with luvglass, if you're out of vacation mode, monthly rates ARE THE ONLY way to go. You'll probably average about $15/day almost anywhere. You're going to pay anywhere from .12 to .15 per kwH and, of course, it depends on where you stay as far as how much electric you're going to use via the climate. Still will offset everything vs. moving daily or even weekly. Plan your monthly rate so that its your 'hub' and you can see the area without moving your home.
Enjoy the freedom!
Only if you want to sit for a whole month in one place and thus only move 12 times (or less) a year are monthly rates the only way to go. We sit still for 3 months during the winter, but otherwise we have hitch itch after about 2 weeks. We often pay less than monthly rates because we use membership parks whenever possible. Like $70 next week for a week in Myrtle Beach. Sometimes we pay $0/night when using membership parks. Other great options include Army Corps of Engineers especially if you are over 62. And they have no monthly rates. But that is fine with us - a week or two and we have a good feel for the area and are ready to move 100 miles or so down the road.
