No one mentioned seasonals as a key to making money for rv park owners. If I was in the business, I'd include a plan to have mostly seasonals in my park paying me once a year upfront for their site. As a transient camper, I believe they are the reason some of the parks exist and in some cases allow for "deals" on a transient site.
It's a perfect storm out there....boomers are retiring in large numbers, gas is cheap, economy booming, etc. To OP's point, I wouldn't want to be a fulltimer in this environment. Thought about it but decided against it for now. July, August, January, February, and March )1/2 the year!), too hard to "get in" in popular locations. Boondocking in the middle of nowhere is of no interest to me.
