RV Retirement Parks
RV retirement parks could be your answer to finding a warmer climate when it gets cold. You can rent an RV space on a temporary or permanent basis depending on the park. Some parks have annual space leases. People lease the space annually and when they return, they can see the same people who become their "neighbors." Some people live there on a permanent basis. If you have an RV, this becomes an extremely affordable way to live. If you buy a space then you have an investment as well as a second-home lifestyle.
Here is a list of various types of RV retirement parks for your temporary or permanent home. We have noted what kind they are, and, of course, all of our RV retirement parks are for over 55. (I have made a couple of exceptions to the age rule and it is so noted.)

It is interesting to note: If you own an RV and use it regularly, it may be considered a second home for tax purposes but please verify this information.
RV's average 8 to 10 miles per gallon of gas on average. Therefore, more people are staying longer at parks and parks are adding more amenities.
Seniors with disabilities can find rv's with added amenities such as a wheelchair lift. Active adults may enjoy adding raised toilet set, widened doorways and hallways, electric beds and roll-in showers--all available now with the aging population.
There are directories for rv'ers to find medical facilties while on the road.
There are currently nine million RV owners in the U.S. Baby boomers age 55 to 64 have the highest ownership rates.
Please verify all information.
