You Can't Do That

"Our summer base CG in central Illinois sets up a few spots for winter use. They do not allow skirting. They have frost free water hydrant at each site and they place a barrel over it with a heat lamp inside. You are responsible for hooking a heated water hose from the hydrant at your site to your trailer. Most winter campers there use PVC for their sewer, which they insulate well.

As far as propane. There are numerous companies in that area that will deliver as many 100 pound rental tanks as you want. The only requirement is that you have to allow them to make the hook up. Then they will come by throughout the winter and fill them as needed.

I would suggest you expand your search a little wider to find the correct CG that has experience with winter campers. There are RVers that do it during the winter in Alaska so I am sure you can locate some CG managers smart enough to figure it out in MO."

Thanks for the welcome. Wish I could find a place like that here. Wonder why they don't allow skirting. Maybe because it wouldn't be the kind of permanent skirting they require here but rather would be insulation boards duct taped to the trailers and make their campground look trashy. Expanded my propane company search to the point that I found people that wouldn't deliver this far from their company. No point looking further until I move. I know campers do it in Alaska. They have no choice. I suspect that the problem here in this area of Missouri is that it is resort area with seasonal business. They make all their money in the summer anyway so why risk their pipes for one person to stay in the winter?
