Just got the call from my favorite campground that our application for seasonal camping was drawn (It's a lottery due to popularity).I was a little dismayed this year that the rates were increasing from $1500 to $1900 for the season, but my desire to be using the trailer I'm paying for far outweighs paying for it and leaving it in storage.I'm getting really excited as a few very good friends were also drawn this year, and the kids are getting to the age where they can have some freedom around the park. Well, the two older ones can (8 and 5), the baby (just over 1 right now) will have to hang out with us.This will be our second year in the Zinger ZT33BH, and I am really hoping we don't have near the trouble this year that we had last. It's been with our dealer since last fall so they could figure out all the issues and get us back up and running with everything like it should be this year. I knew there'd be issues, as all new trailers have a bit of a personality to contend with, but this thing was off the charts. Luckily we have an absolutely fantastic dealer that's been taking very good care of us.I'm also looking forward to taking my Heli-Max 1Si quad copter out and getting some aerial photos of the camp site and trailer. I'll be sure to post them once I've done so.

Remember the cost of your RV can be written off as a second home. If a business with use of all or part it also can be deducted from income and or subtracted from other income if a loss. Check the specifics for your location as Federal and State regulations vary. Travel in an RV for job interviews can also be deducted including a mileage allowance, food, and site cost.

I can't stay in one place. All 2014 reservations made through New Years.

Seasonal camping in a great campground with wonderful neighbors is awesome for me given that I can camp 100+ nights while holding down a full-time job that requires my presence. Make sure you understand the rules about decks and sheds and outside stuff.

We're happy our seasonal fee is holding steady at $1,900. No decks or sheds for us. We're at a county park that doesn't allow anything more permanent than a small woodpile, and our camper has to be moved by October. Okay by us as we blend in with everyone else.Like you we have full time jobs and the DH has limited vacation time. Neither of us has a burning desire to see the country...yet. So seasonal camping is a perfect fit for our lifestyle.Have fun making some awesome family memories!

All that sounds very good, but since the OP is from Canada, I wonder if anything you posted is applicable! For one thing, there are no "State regulations" in Canada since there are nor states!
