So how do you full time in your RV?

Well as I’ve already mentioned here, I rarely if ever go to private RV parks, especially now that I’ve learned that they charge extra for electricity if you’re going to stay a month or so.
I am a military veteran with a service connected disability and I use the benefits that I have at my disposal. I can camp at military RV campgrounds, many which are on military bases, and they are like resorts to me because they have lots of amenities and do not charge you extra for electricity if you’re staying a few months.
Most military bases have movie theaters, fitness centers and swimming pools which I can use. I sometimes eat at the chow hall with the troops where I find excellent companionship. They also have medical facilities which I can use and a lot of other amentias.
I also camp at National Parks for half price with my “Golden Access” card and in many States I can camp for free at State Parks because of my disability. In my opinion State Parks have a different feel to them than National Parks, and both State and National Parks are a lot different than military RV campgrounds.
So I do have some variety in my campgrounds; all military RV parks are not the same, some provide cable T.V. or internet service included in the camping fee. Some military bases have Christmas & New Years pot luck get together at their RV campgrounds, and they have various activities and events on certain holidays, Veterans Day, etc.
During the summer months I usually go to State Parks located right on the ocean in California and in the winter I’m inland, sometimes at a State Park in the Mojave Desert. I am somewhat of a snowbird as I do try to avoid the snow and even sometimes try to avoid the cold temps.
