Yep, we have a seasonal site in northern Michigan (3 hour drive) from May to the end of September we leave the rig on. We're heading back up tomorrow, matter of fact, for a week, then home for a week, then back up for three weeks while some out of state relatives rent a house on the lake nearby. Rest of the season is basically the same schedule. Our rig is primarily our "summer cottage" up there.
Heading up to our seasonal site this weekend to haul and stack firewood! Sounds like fun, right? It's the last major chore to do before we can say we're completely ready for the season. Somehow when camping even the tough jobs are fun. I was also wondering if there are many seasonal site campers on this forum. Some issues are different for trailers that are stationary - like tank flushing, getting RV service, insurance, etc. I know the travellers out there might think seasonal camping is boring, but we found it's the best way to squeeze in camping right now with our work schedules. It's still fun to read about everyone else's travels and dream of retirement!

We stay at the Indian River RV Resort & Campground on M-27. It's about a mile south of Topinabee. South down I-75 about 30 miles from the bridge. We're right between Burt and Mullett Lakes (but not on the water).
Don't know what problems there are with insurance (we've not had any). RV Service? Warranty's long gone, so calling a mobile tech is on my dime, no matter what. Or on the extended warranty coverage. There is a Heartland dealer (International RV) about 30 miles south in Gaylord, so if it came to that, we might be able to arrange something. The woman that sold us our unit while at General RV is married to the manager there and works up there during the summer. Dumping/flushing the tanks is no problem since we're on a full service site. Our pontoon is in a marina slip on the river four miles away, so it's all good.

We, too, 'camp' everyday as we are full-timers (anxiously awaiting my husbands retirement from the Army so we can hit the road August 10th!) - however we are 'moving' to Huntsville, Alabama the second weekend of July to check out the space center.
Ann R - we moved to Alabama from Dodgeville - ever been to Governor Dodge State Park? Beautiful. Where is your seasonal site?

We too are full timers and this week we are in Birch Bay Washington, next week will be in Aldergrove Ca. in order to be closer to Vancouver for the Jazz festival there. Tried out John's part of the country last year and thought it was a little damp but gotta say it just doesn't hold a candle to the North West when it comes to rainy day weather!!
