- rockhillmanorExplorer IIWhy don't you look into buying a seasonal site?
These are MH's, trailers and sometimes park models that are permanently on a site in a CG and people come out on weekends, their vacation or come out for the summer and/or winter months. Most CG's have both RV camping sites and a special section set aside for the seasonal campers.
Call around to the CG's where you would like to stay and ask if they have any for sale. Many seasonal people will sell their RV right on the seasonal lot. You usually pay once a year for the season which includes the lot rent.
You could buy one in the south and one in the north and full time between them. Then just drive to the CG or fly there! :C
The cost of owning 2 of them would be FAR FAR less than driving around full time in your MH. And would fit your need of not wanting to travel full time.
The seasonal sites next to where I stay in the CG during the summer months charges $1,200 a year for a seasonal site. Often thought about doing that.
I sure can NOT travel in my MH for $1,200 a year! :W - beemerphile1Explorer

If I don't drive long distances, is there a way that I can still go RVing? Are there companies or individuals that would move the rig? Expensive? I'd probably move it 4 times per year.
Drive short distances, there is no rule on how far one must drive.
There are transport companies but the costs would be high. - NaioExplorer III don't like to drive, either, but I love camping :).
I might try out the movers!
What I have done so far is a combination of short distances and rideshare. Find someone who wants to go where you want to go, but does not have a car. They drive, you ride -- or you trade shifts. College towns work best for this. - rollingslowExplorerThe same transporters that deliver RV'S to dealers will also move yours. Parked next to a guy that was blind in quartsite every 3 months they came and moved him were ever he had picked as his next place go
- 2gypsies1Explorer IIII, too, would recommend just driving short distances at a time and stay for at least three days then move on. If you're not pressed for time, why hurry and put in long driving days? You'll pay the same price in the campground if you pull in at 1pm or 8pm.
Try driving secondary roads. There are usually many neat places to check out and explore during your stay.
It also might be more economical for you to fly to destinations 4x/year and rent a car. Moving the RV from place to place would be expensive and you'd still have to drive to get to your RV. Perhaps your RV is too large for you to feel comfortable driving. Consider a much small one. - IvylogExplorer IIIHard to answer the question when you do not know what kind of RV?
- 2oldmanExplorer IIAt least someone answered the question.

Private message send. - scbwrExplorer IIIMHO, as long as you CAN drive an RV that you own, you shouldn't have a problem as you can drive for shorter distances and stop. If you can't or don't want to drive an RV, perhaps you should avoid owning one un less you are just going to park it in one place and not move it. If that is the case, a park model trailer might serve your needs. Can you share with us how you plan to use an RV if you purchase one? That might help in getting the best opinions or advice.
