Many KOAs (and sometimes other RV places, but mostly KOAs) have specified monthly sites and a very limited number of them. Why?
Why couldn't any site be a monthly? You just stay for a month instead of a day or a week, what's the big deal? I asked at a KOA once and the guy got pissy with me, which I didn't understand, and he didn't give me an answer. So perhaps he didn't know the answer because it's one of those arbitrary things - a rule for the sake of rules and no reason behind it.
I've run through some reasons why this might be, then promptly shot them down:
Any ideas?

I've run through some reasons why this might be, then promptly shot them down:
- Monthly sites are usually smaller, and therefore cheaper and less revenue: big deal, just charge more for a better site if the customer is willing to pay it (and we are.
- They don't want a ton of people living full time in their campground and crapping it up: okay, so you limit it to one month max.
- I can't think of any other reasons.
Any ideas?
