Back when fuel and cheap the purchase price of MH's was reasonable and the insurance fair priced there were about as many MH's as TT's with there being less 5th wheels as it was a new type of RV in CG's. Today, TT's and 5th wheels easily outnumber MH's in CG's about 2+ to 1 each. In National Parks more than 3 to 1. That's what we see in the eastern, southeastern, and midwest states.
As for using CG bathrooms and showers, it depends. National Parks and many state parks around the country have no hookups but decent bathouses, or electric only, or water and electric. Duh! When the gray water tank is full, it's full, so what good does water at the site do without having a sewer to dump in? Dumb! We use what ever is best in what area or CG depending on how clean the bathouse is and yes, we are fussy. Some states are very demanding about showers and bathrooms and constantly inspect the bathouses while other states couldn't care less and the average bathouse is putrid at best and usually stinks.
Our home state is extremely fussy so yes, we will use them but not very often in the southern states. Some bathouses are very modern, tiled, and kept extremely clean and why not use them if desired? Not constantly or only but when the situation favors them.
For instance: The bathouses at Platte River CG in Sleeping Bear Dunes National lakeshore Park bathouses put most home bathouses to shame and they are cleaned and disinfected 3+ times a day as we see it done so what's the issue as to using them?
