Marc,
Don't forget to take the cost of electricity into account. Parks will surely not eat the significant cost in their rate structures. In my early days of working out of an 8 x 40 Sunflower trailer with 2 tip outs, I would always stay at parks that included electricity in the +/- $150.00 per month space rent. Most parks in those days did not have individual meters. On the rare occasion I had to pay for my electricity out of my pocket, during summer months in the AZ desert it would not be unusual for it to cost $250.00 per month. AC's & electric WD were not so efficient back in the '70s. Made me feel like I was being paid to stay at some places. The short term future might be great for electric vehicles until the folks actually paying the cost demand that they no longer be forced to subsidize the folks using the newest greatest technology. But until that time, I would gladly drive an electric coach that I'm not paying the electric bill for!
