Are the campgrounds full in your area?

I've been considering purchasing a motor home for quite some time. As of late I notice that there are very few reasonably priced used MHs available out there. My understanding is that due to the virus hysteria and panic, along with most means of transportation either curtailed or requiring draconian regulations, that so many people are buying RVs. The RV market has basically dried up unless you are able to purchase new. I also think that this is the reason why so many RV Parks and Campgrounds are packed. With nowhere to travel by plane, train, and cruise ships, possibly millions of people are seeking other means. Traveling long distances in one's car is tiring and costly. So, the next best thing is an RV. For those of us that don't feature spending overnight in a Walmart or Rest Stop an RV park or campground is a necessity. As such I am seriously reconsidering any purchase now or in the near future. :(

My feelings exactly. I thought it was semi-tough pre-covid to get good spots it must be insane now trying to get in somewhere. I suspect many great RV deals in the near future. In the mean time, plenty of FR-3's and Ace's for sale lol.

As an alternative to RV parks and boondocking I wonder if just staying in motels/hotels would work out. I know that motels or hotels are somewhat more expensive than RV parks and for some people would defeat the purpose of having an RV, but at least you are not jammed into tight quarters and having to put up with all sorts of park regulations not to mention setting up and tearing down the unit.
