If you move further South in Florida it gets warmer but prices start to climb...
We haul our 5er down there as we are Canadian and we don't want the hassle of insurance & upkeep on a park model as well as the worry if a hurricane comes ashore etc...

I agree. We rent a lot in the Tampa area for 3 - 4 months. If we paid for the year it would be $2800 but we could put a shed on it. By the month it is $525 which includes $60 worth of electricity.
We can live without a shed, we just store certain items that we want too leave there with neighbors.
Also, if you buy in a park and the park goes belly up, you are somewhat screwed. On top of that, if you want to move, you are stuck. We have been in our park for 9 years, 7 years in one site and so far 2 years in our current site. We had reasons to move, and it made it easier that we were month to month.
