Depreciation is usually more than rent will be.

Here is just one of many in Tavares, FL The CG is right on one of the biggest lakes. Check out the cottages/lodging they have!
http://fishermanscoverv.us/
There are about 6 more in that area and Leesburg that offer cottages.

This is the one I stayed at right at the waters edge. Real nice cottages at this CG, screened in porches etc. And REAL nice owners. Rent boats right at the marina just a short walk from the sites.

Like I said had I known about these cottages as an option for snowbirding available I would not have bought the MH!!!

OP take the grand kids with you and spend at least a couple of weeks in the warm weather! :C

I found many CG's I stayed at had cottages also for rent.

I asked the cost of them per month and gotta tell you it was WAY cheaper than putting my MH on the road to snowbird to Florida!!

Hindsight I would have not bought the MH to snowbird. Most of the cottages I seen were REAL nice. 2 to 3 bedroom nice little lawn etc.

Look around and search CG's with cottages and just drive down and stay in one of those for the winter.

I'll be the one parked up front in my MH paying twice as much a month to stay in my MH versus renting one of the cabins!!! :W

DW can't leave the grandkids for more than a couple of days. Of course, I am not sure how well the two of us would get along in close quarters.

Those can be the two downsides that snowbirds and full-timers have to deal with.

For us our limit is about 10 weeks. Those grandkids are awesome to be around.

Sounds like someone needs to find a rental unit for a month or so as a trial for how bad DW's withdrawal would be.
Preferably someplace warmer.

I agree. Dont' jump into buying a RV.

Heal quickly so you can spice up that beverage.

We're experiencing the same gray and cold weather here on the west side of Cleveland. Fortunately, the holiday season is starting and that will keep me pretty busy. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to mid January and our departure for sunny Florida.

I live in SE Michigan too. I think they said of the last 38 days, 32 have been much colder than average, 3 have been avg, and only 3 above.

I will probably head to FLA the end of Jan through about March 24. I move around down there and boondock some as long as it's not too hot. Then I go to a low priced cg for electricity to run the AC,
