Rotorhead Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Hello All, We are pondering the idea of purchasing an RV lot in Florida. I kinda like the idea of domicile there and will be doing some research soon. I know there are posts about it here I will try and locate. My question is, does anyone know of any good locations that may have lots for sale? If I can't find any (been looking) we always have the option to move. However, we may need to wait a while now. I am just trying to line up some retirement ideas. If I end up moving down there I am hoping to get some acreage. I would set up a couple sites for your big rigs. (But my wife doesn't know that yet, shhhh. hahaha) This day/night/day/night shift is taking it's toll more each year. Happy travels.

As a general rule, the further south you go, the more people you run into.

Twotoes Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 If you are looking for developed lots in RV Resorts two that come to mind are Cyprus Woods and Cyprus Trails both located in Ft Myers. Another one is The Great Outdoors located in Titusville on the Atlantic side.

lappir Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 There used to be several places around Lake Okeechobee, but they didn't offer "Acreage's", more just a lot in a pretty good sized community. I never looked into them. They were too far away from my work. In the West Palm, Royal Palm, Wellington area is a community called the Acreage. It used to be anything goes, but lots of people put up big houses and occasionally allowed RV's to park there during the "Equestrian" season. They had horse barns too. I stayed for two winters at one in Wellington. I lived in South Florida for 9 years prior to spending 10 or so winters there. Never got used to the constant heat. I'll take a 30 degree day over a 80 degree one always.

Chad Heiser Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Just something to be aware of (if you weren’t already), it isn’t legally possible to register an HDT as an RV in Florida. I’m not sure how you have your rig registered, so this may not be an issue for you. Florida says an RV cannot have a weight bearing hitch. This means no 5th wheel or gooseneck hitches allowed on a converted HDT registered as an RV.

Hopefully that's not a problem. It isn't in Virginia. DMV here doesn't care so long as it is registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
