Not sure what you are trying to get at. Fulltiming means freedom to do it your way. We spend the winter in Mesa in one site, the spring, summer, fall we spend traveling staying from overnight to a month depending upon where we are and what we want to do. Sometimes we use TT parks, sometimes ROD/AOR/C2C, etc., sometimes monthly in a park near my mother. You just pick what will work best for you at anytime. Find a place to really like, go in and see what they can do in terms of specials to extend your stay. New area, stay for a day or two and check out what is available, then decide to stay longer or move on. Just because you have a park membership doesn't mean you can't stay in other places.

Ok thanks – we'll get the hang of it (new to RVing in general)

Most RV Parks allow for long term (yearly) or shorter term (monthly) stays in addition to the weekly and overnight stays.

There are local and state governments that limit the stay at some parks. Usually on the park website there will be a rules and regulations page explaining stay limits if any. It's found in the rates/reservations section on most of the websites.

There are so many ways to remain flexible. We don't tend to make reservations at all, and like to mix up our stays between a few days, a couple weeks or a month+. About the only time we make reservations in advance is over popular holiday weekends in trendy spots, or when we absolutely know we need to be in a location at a certain time (work obligation, family event, etc.)

Otherwise.. we're footloose and fancy free. Just this morning we woke up and said 'let's just say here another day'.

We do this with a combination of boondocking on public lands (2 week stay limits, no reservations need.. and free, aside from the whole being self contained thing), Passport America 50% off parks when we need to flush/fill tanks in-between, stays in state/county/city parks (usually easy to snag last minute during the week.. varies on weekends), etc. Snagging several days in a row at a location is usually not too much of a problem, except in the most popular parks.

Last year we averaged at $13/night staying in a variety of places - and that was without much boondocking at all.

Recommend not signing on to any major park systems that require a big upfront fee until you know if they're your style, and in the locations you want to be. They can indeed be a cost saving way to go, but they have to suit you too. There's so much variety out there :)
