After retirement, you have unparalleled freedom in where to spend your time. If you live in the north with long and harsh winters, you can become a snowbird who escapes to the Southwest during the most brutal months. RV parks offer low-commitment options for residents to stay for a month, a season, or the year. Residents can purchase an RV and rent a park space, or rent and even purchase a park RV model. Here are five questions to ask when you buy an RV park model home.
What are the different sizes available for homes?
Many people don’t realize that RV homes come in a variety of sizes, with covered parking and outdoor sheds for storage. Downsizing for retirement appeals to many people, but it doesn’t mean you have to live in a cramped home where you don’t have space to relax and store your belongings.
When shopping for an RV park model home for sale, ask about the different sizes available. Even if your Phoenix home is only a seasonal residence, you can find one with plenty of space for you, your spouse, and even your grandkids to visit.
What features does the RV come with?
When you buy a used RV, it often comes with additional amenities that aren’t present in new models. At Lost Dutchman RV Resort, our park model homes for sale come with a variety of features, including:
- Flat-screen TVs
- Washers and dryers
- Grills and outdoor furniture
- Furnishings
You can purchase a second home with everything you need to live comfortably for a winter or a season.
Are the RVs new or used?
When you become a snowbird, you have lots of options for where you’ll live in a 55+ community. You can purchase an RV and rent a space with hookups for a month or season, or you can buy a mobile home to be permanently installed on an RV space.
When you purchase an RV park model for sale, it’s usually a used property that a prior owner installed on the lot. While used models aren’t in the same pristine condition as a new mobile home, they often have furnishings that make them ideal second homes.
Instead of needing to purchase appliances, furniture, and skirting, you can buy an all-inclusive home that’s move-in ready.
What are the park’s amenities?
When you’re a snowbird, you’re not just purchasing a home; you’re joining a community of seniors making the most of their retirement. While a comfortable home is essential to make the most of your golden years, ask about the park’s amenities.
Lost Dutchman RV Resort has space for residents to engage in their hobbies or explore new ones, including:
- Arts and crafts including woodworking, quilting, painting
- Pickleball and billiards
- Library and rock shop
- Putting green and bingo
When shopping for an RV park model home, ask about the amenities, activities, and area attractions.
