IMO RV Condo lots are not unlike any real estate, location being the most important.

I stayed at a beautiful spotclose to Key West, nice pad, table, cabana and dock (if water side) for each spot, lots of vegetation and space between each lot. The few lots for sale on the water side were $500,000 two years ago and $300,000 for the interior lots. Lots were rented out when the owners were not there ... I think I paid $90+/night for water side. It was like a gated community.

Original prices were much lower and as the general real estate market went up, so did these. I would not doubt they are facing the same pressures as the 'normal' real estate market.

But location, condition, management, fees, facilities all factor into the 'value'. Personally, I'd rather hunt and peck around for these places and rent on occasion vs buying, as I'd feel self imposed pressure to use a space I had 'invested' in. The more the investment the more the pressure.

I'd like everyones opinion on the hot trend of RV CONDO LOTS that are
springing up everywhere. Own your own rv lot. I know most of us bought
our coach so we could move about freely. But could these be an
investment? Or are they folly. I've heard the baby boomers are coming!
Perhaps the hayday of big RV's are yet to come. Let's hear it I think
this could be and intersting debate.
