Sarasota knows how to do sunshine, but finding the right place to park your home on wheels? That takes some insider know-how.
You want everything from the polished, poolside perfection of a Zeman resort to a laid-back fishing dock where the sunset social is the main event. Sure, you could brave the gridlock on 41 for a taste of that famous key lime pie, but why bother when your front porch comes with a river view.
We've checked the hookups, the bathhouses, and the bingo cards. Skip the sad, cold showers.
Roll into the good spots.
