Are you staying in a northern park in winter or are you a snowbird heading south?  If heading south you really don't need a RV park.

Why would park owners in areas with harsh winters want to stay open when revenues will be so low?  They know that RVs have wheels and that most people will use those wheels to get them to places with mild winters.   

because the park owners have cabins, and park models, and heated pavilions, etc.  Oh and they also have a few camp sites that they have electric only, no water.  people travel through.

If I was driving 24 hours then sure.  But some like to take a slower snowbird path, after visiting relatives on the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Some CGs are open even if they are closed. If you call and they are around, no snow on the ground, they will say OK, come on in. This has happened to us several times at different campgrounds.

I've heard of some folks spending the night at a motel mid-travel.

When I was snowbirding I would head south from Minneapolis on I-35. The first night I would blacktop camp with no hookups using my diesel furnace for heat. The second night I would be far enough south to get an electrical hookup if I wanted it which I usually did and stayed two nights. The next night I would be at Rainbow's End. That's three 4-hour days of driving.

Maybe you don't have as easy a route as I-35 but most rigs can blacktop camp for two nights without the need for hookups. By then you should be far enough south from wherever you started to get them.
