Cool Hoping to Retire to Florida

Hi all, hope some of you may be able to help.
I understand although it is impossible to stay longer than 6 months in every 12, my partner and I are trying to look into buying a mobile home in Florida and escaping the winters in the uk. We are in our 50's, and can't bear the thought of living out our time in the grotty english winter. Has anyone out there done the same? Any advice ?, have been on a number of sites selling units, ranging from as little as $20K to $200K. I think they also make monthly land rent/service charges in the gated communities. So any advice from the lifestyle to the pitfalls would be welcome. Many thanks - Christine
