(Preview)
I heard through another forum that they thought there were less snowbirds before as the parks they saw used to be packed in FL and TX. I'm wondering if others are seeing less. I also wonder if that isn't contributing to the best prices I have seen on used units in my lifetime. I know that Tucson in the 90...

Our little family of 3 is growing. I am expecting our -new baby boy in May. We are excited. This of course has halted our plans to full time. However, after the baby is born we plan to head out. Hopefully before the cold winter comes again.
