I'm living in an RV right now and have no choice but to move as campgrounds keep closing all around me. I have nowhere else to go so I have no choice but to move.
I cant speak for all beach towns but here we dont yet have restrictions. We have requests and guidelines that arent really being followed by an alarmingly high percentage. So if people are coming to here to escape irresponsible behavior they are going to succeed. And they are ending up in an area with far fewer resources to help if they do become ill.But you are right that going from a place with a lot of hospitals close by to one with limited resources is risky.
Going before the situation escalated in the area with the primary residence would be the responsible way to do it. Unfortunately I don’t think many people considered that.If I had a second home, and the one I was currently in was in a densely populated area, I would of planned to go to the second home prior to lock down and then that would be my home for the duration. And I would of reduced contact with people when I arrived.
I have been wondering the past couple days what full time RVers would be doing as areas shut down. That is a demographic I don’t think a lot of people have considered. I know our state parks are closed, so those campsites are off limits.I'm living in an RV right now and have no choice but to move as campgrounds keep closing all around me.

They are coming to counties with few or no cases from out of state...like the one adjacent to me. Campgrounds should be closed.I have been wondering the past couple days what full time RVers would be doing as areas shut down. That is a demographic I don’t think a lot of people have considered.

I don’t disagree, but I do wonder where they would go? If you are a full time RVer, you don’t have a home to go back to in order to ride it out. I am legitimately curious about the issue, and have no good solution to offer.They are coming to counties with few or no cases from out of state...like the one adjacent to me.

My in-laws are not full time RVers, but they are currently living in their RV in FL. They bought a spot in a permanent RV park down there to park their RV when not in use, but it is also a permanent community for most who own spots. They are a part of that community right now, but they arrived in January, long before this started.I don’t disagree, but I do wonder where they would go?

I'm heading out to the southwest where I can camp out in the middle of nowhere on Bureau of Land Management public lands. I have to go somewhere so I guess out in the middle of nowhere will work. Hopefully I don't get severely sick because I'm alone and it would probably be the end of my adventure for sure. Really out of choices at this point.I don’t disagree, but I do wonder where they would go? If you are a full time RVer, you don’t have a home to go back to in order to ride it out.

In my case, that's simply not true.They are coming to counties with few or no cases from out of state...like the one adjacent to me. Campgrounds should be closed.
I didn't buy a spot, but I had one rented for the next 3 months. That was until they closed up and told me I had 24 hours to move off property. It's been difficult at best to find replacement facilities so I have no choice but to move out to BLM land where I hope to God I don't get sick out there.My in-laws are not full time RVers, but they are currently living in their RV in FL.

Honestly, I did not know that there were folks out there who just lived out of RVs without a spot like that, or a home - never considered the implications. They are in a bind right now, to be sure. As are the homeless.

NY, NJ and CT. Add Louisiana to that list. State Troopers will be watching cars on the interstates looking for plates from these states as well as checking people flying into Florida.From NY or NYC?
Seems like there are two very valid sides to this bigger picture.I can't believe how myopic some people are. Just because someone pays taxes in a resort town doesn't mean that the local infrastructure can handle an influx of people in the off-season. Beach town hospitals, for example, don't keep the level of staffing up over the winter as they do in the summer. They don't order as many supplies, because they simply would go to waste. Property owners in resort towns love to whine about the taxes they pay as it is. How much higher would those taxes be if those towns staffed police, fire, and rescue all year round like they do in the summer?? I wish some people would stop being so incredibly selfish and look at the bigger picture for once.
