And just for comparisons, I paid $4,200 (or $11.50 per night) for last year (12 months) for site rent only. My electric is metered and it varies widely over a year (single digit winter to triple digit summer). Also as of March 1st, my site rent will go up $25.
The reason for the HUGE difference, other than I don't stay in $60 per night places, is that I live, fulltime, in the same RV park, for 30-31 days at a time (one month). This means I pay the MONTHLY rate which is typically much cheaper. This is why I keep telling people who ask the old question 'how much' that it just depends. I don't travel due to work (retail drone). BUT if you DO travel, pick a central place where you can daytrip to other locations, or just explore the area around your stop a bit more thoroughly. Stay for a month before moving on. I think my current park charges $30 per night (includes electric). The current park has a few "overnight" spots that rent for $435 per month on non-metered (electric included) site ($5,220 or $14.30 per night). So even if you pay for a higher priced electric included site, by staying for a month, you are saving huge over the nightly rates. This typically works out no matter what price point the place you stay at is. Most people have a towed that typically uses less fuel than their Class A/B/C. Many tow vehicles use less fuel when they are not towing the trailer.
I always tell newbies that they do not have to move every night or every few nights to "full-time". I usually tell this to the 'is it cheaper to live in an house or live in an RV' people. I say it's often cheaper, but it depends on if you travel or mostly stay put. But then I have been told I am not a "full-timer" based on some arbitrary definition of full-timing = constantly moving.
