Snowbird Prices (RANT)

It's not just FL.....AZ too. This is our 2nd year as Snowbirds. Bought a first time brand new RV last year, retired, headed south for 3+ months. Discovered the RV we bought was a bit too small. It was a nice enough park looks-wise but the people (guests) were very snobby. Met a nice couple at a dinner show who recommended their park. Came down to that one this year. It is older, cheaper. People are friendlier. But the park is in poor repair. Some of the pool is crumbling, the arbors have dangerous rotting wood, there is no internet at the sites. There is a movie theater with a huge speed bump inside the door that several people have fallen over. The movies shown have been HORRIBLE. The manager told us to 'get our money back' because DARK SHADOWS with J Depp was deplorable. The showers have been cold. The check in folks were unfriendly. The mail lady told us she had no idea who we were even though we made reservations in March for November. Doesn't the ofc send a list of residents to the mail room? I am not so sure I want to try a 3rd season Snowbirding. Not sure I want to invest more money in a bigger rig when the few parks we've stayed at don't live up to their end of the bargain. We are quiet clean people & paid in advance. Feel rather taken advantage of by this industry. I've been telling husb I'd rather stay home cold with the heater on than spend all these thousands to get ripped off. He's kind of agreeing. We found the ofc overcharged us by $288 & I dread going in trying to get that straightened out as they are totally unhelpful. You read so many bad reviews online that it's scary trying to think of where to go next or just cut our losses & sell the RV.
