R V Parks, or Whatever...
A lot of fulltimers spend significant time in one place, and get monthly rates,
and of course only a small percentage are doing that in California. We've been traveling an average of 6 months per year for 7 years now. We have, on occasion, spent a week or two in one place because there was a lot to see or do, but except for Quartzsite we are most often only 2 or 3 days in a spot. Back in '05-'06 our average cost per night for the two years was $18.28. I don't keep as close an eye on it anymore since fuel has so massively displaced it as the big expense, but I would estimate we are up around $25 now. The average results from a mixture of high-priced resorts, mid-priced RV parks and State Parks, and free spots (driveways of friends and relatives, and the occasional Wal-Mart parking lot). We spend a significant part of January and February around Quartzsite, where 2 weeks now costs $40 (used to be $30). On top of that you have to factor in generator fuel and propane, which adds a few dollars per day at least.
