I used to think that was the case, but better than 1/2 of the time the Florida license plate turns out to be a 'part-timer' - they have a winter home in Florida and move north during the summer Sunbirds.

When I have to go to a training class in Boston in Feb we blow out the lines for the trip.

That's not true we winterize the rig every winter. We take it South, with us in it.
We're in Arizona

Look for South Dakota, Montana, Florida or Texas plates. Seems like most full timers register in these states. We use South Dakota.

I am only a half-timer, and occasionally camp-host at a state park for the summer. I make it my business to introduce myself to everyone in "my" loop, and the FT'ers are easy to spot. They are relaxed, courteous campers and ready with a smile and conversation. The question, "where are you from / headed?" lets me know immediately if I'm talking to a pro or an amateur. LOL.

I agree - what difference does it make? 
In terms of possibly learning more about the area, or good places to go to next, etc., there are many "part-timers" who could have good answers as well.
We find it the most fun to be friendly with everyone 'cause everyone has great stuff to share (including the great folks we meet in the office). For those you meet who you think you'd like to be in touch with again in the future and possibly meet up with again, a friendship card is a great thing to share.
To us the most important thing is just to enjoy the folks we meet and get to visit with.

In fact, part timers could know a lot more. Many full timers travel around the country, like us. We stay in one campground maybe 2-3 weeks, travel about 12,000 miles a year, seldom taking the same route or staying in the same parks except for Thousand Trails.
Part Timers can be locals or from with a couple hundred miles who visit that park on weekends or vacations, for years.
