Yes, if you compare a low end rv park to a midrange apartment, rv is likely cheaper, though, keep maintenance in mind as it can narrow the gap. $450 won't get you in most nice snowbird parks and apartments can be cheaper if you don't need to be in suburbia. Depends a lot on expectations.
Having done a few winters on the Texas coast..expect up around $1000 for a nice park.
If you want to nitpick, I'll pick nits with you. I don't believe you are the definitive word on what a "full timer" is, but you are entitled to your opinion and I will go by mine. Are you going to tell the people in the park here living in an RV all year round that they aren't full time RVers? If not, then what are they?
As for the Texas coast, I spent the 20/21 winter there and I'm familiar with the rates there. You can spend $1,000 a month at a nice park. I was at a peaceful park (well occasional fireworks) in Alamo, Texas that winter. I just checked. Their current rate is $300 plus electric. You can even get a break at 3 months for $825. I like economy and value.
Edit: Wikipedia is not the definitive word on this, either, but I'd say it agrees with me:
