I'm not sure costs have gone up much. Fuel hasn't changed in 8 years, maintenance probably up a bit along with food etc. Are campgrounds up much??
In our park, the pad fees are up, and the City just did a reassessment so that my taxes for example, went from $500 to $800 with no improvements. Gas has been up and down over the past few years....mostly up in my experience.
I don't know about campgrounds.
I would be very interested in seeing the US vs Canada snowbird numbers. US health care costs have gone up way past US yearly inflation. Hard for a US citizen to retire prior to 65 when health care is "mostly" covered. This is not the case for our neighbors to the north.
A US couple can easily pay $1,200us per month for health care. It's too much of a risk to go without.
