Hi, all. I'm TJ, and we are sort of casual RVers who only venture out once or twice a year. We have a smaller size (Approx. 24 ft.) 2017 Heartland Elkridge fifth wheel. Our home base is Arizona's high country, and we are getting older, so we limit our travels pretty much to our state and those close by.
Lately we have been talking about the possibility of buying or renting a park model for our winter vacations, but financial common sense makes it problematical. One, we would not be likely to use a park model for more than a month or so a year, so buying one for such limited use seems to be silly. Two, renting a park model (so we can use the car and not bring a big truck) costs considerably more than an RV spot for the same length of time.
Does anyone know if there are places where we could park the trailer more or less permanently, and just use it when we have the urge? Would that be cheaper than owning a park model and leaving it vacant most of the year?
Thanks to anyone who might have suggestions.
