Decent Florida full time sites
Full timing in Indiana right now. Ready to plan on a full time site in Florida. I know rates will be higher in Florida but I don't have unlimited funds. Any hidden treasures in Florida worth checking ...

Before BUYING a site in Florida, I highly recommend that you come down and spend the entire month of July somewhere in the Orlando area. It's extremely hot and humid and rains heavily most every day late in the afternoon for an hour or so in summer. Your AC bills will be extremely high. If you are still in love with Florida after being here for a month during summer, THEN look for a permanent site. Keep in mind that summer starts in April and goes till sometime in October. It will be 90 or so during the day with lows of 70-75 at night.
Florida is a very long state. Keep in mind that northern Florida (above I-4) is not quite as hot as areas in the more southern part of the state. It is also much cooler in the winter. Some of the palm trees that grow in the Ft Myers area will not live if planted in Gainesville because of the cooler winters.
Just to be clear, I love Florida. I lived in the Orlando area for 15 years. I'm in Ft Myers right now BECAUSE IT'S WINTER. Florida is a wonderful fun place to visit in the summer but it's as extreme in summer as Minnesota is in winter.
