We never thought it to be a good idea to buy anything related to a RV such as Park Models or to buy a lot in a RV park. When it's time to sell, people typically don't look at old ones. They want newer ones. They also don't want to live in an older park. They want newer ones with more facilities.
We have found the best way to have multiple dwellings and moving with the temperatures or to visit with family for long periods of time is just to own one RV for traveling; hence, go full-time. It worked very well for us for 16 years.
We bought an older park model (though the floor plan is the same as the new ones and it has been well taken care of) When we have to move onto an assisted living or some other place, we will simply have it pulled out by a company that then takes possession and uses them as temporary housing for work camps. We never expect to make a dime on it - just want a comfortable place for the winter. Someday we will be too old to drive our rig or health concerns will get in the way and now we have someplace to stop on our journey through life.
