Hi All!
My hubby and I are planning on becoming full-time RVers in the future. We have a few questions. How do you afford this? With the cost of campgrounds being close to $400 a week with full hook-ups, that gets very expensive (much more than the mortgage I pay on our 5 bedroom house)! Is there a cheaper way to do this? We met someone on a recent trip who told about RV clubs where you have a home club and then pay cheaper rates at "sister" clubs. Is this true? How does it work? How do you find them? Any help you can pass along is greatly appreciated.
The key is to stay a longer time at each CG.
Almost all CG's have a 'daily rate', 'weekly rate' and 'monthly rate'.
The longer you stay the lower the cost is.
Even if their website does not show these rates most will have them you just have to ask. Not advertising these monthly rates IMHO gives them the opportunity to decide if they want you there that long!:W
The last CG I stopped at "for just the night" was at the daily rate was $32.00 a night.
Which would calculate out to be $960.00 a month using the daily rate.
I really liked the CG and the area so I asked what the monthly rate was. It was $250.00 a month electric included. Sooooo I decided to sit and stay a spell there for a little while.
The key is asking what the weekly and/or monthly rate is. :C
