Jack & Donna Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Looks like there’s some confusion on this thread due to the June 4 posting by Ladyhags. I have notifications enabled but did not see her post and its replies until Tuesday 9/12. This thread is regarding a best offer, NOT $6400. That should have been a separate thread by Ladyhags to avoid mixing these two unrelated contracts. A $2000 bid was accepted but did not go through so John’s membership is still available.

Jack & Donna Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thank you Kirk. I consider all Escapees friendly until proven otherwise so I wasn’t offended by this minor breach of internet etiquette. I wish Ladyhags good luck in her sale.

Travis Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 I am interested. Can you tell me how the system works? The yearly fees if any and what usage you can have and or restrictions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack & Donna Posted September 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 From original post for easy reference: “… John has a Platinum membership with Alliance benefits. It works in 68 TT parks. It’s 21 nights, park to park with a 210 day reservation window. TT said current dues are $1200 per year for unlimited camping or $569 for 50 nights per year. RPI and/or Trails Collection can be added.” Hello Travis, My own TT membership is a little different but here’s how it works: up to 21 nights in one TT park then you can immediately move into another TT park. (Some lower level membership levels require 7 days out of the system which isn’t ideal for full-timing.) There is no nightly camping fee but some parks charge $3 extra (sometimes $5) per night for 50 amp. Not every site in every park has full hookups with water and sewer but most do. Not every site is big rig friendly but our previous motorhome was 43 feet and that worked. Not sure if John’s contract has any high use (peak season) restrictions for popular parks. I recommend you read the contract before purchase. John’s 210 day reservation window is a big plus. (I can’t remember if mine is 90 or 120 but some parks do fill up in their busy season so 210 days would be fantastic.) As a full-timer, I have gone up and down the West coast mostly from one TT park to another. This year I used several of their East coast parks. I used their Texas parks for wintering last year. Thousand Trails has saved me thousands of dollars vs independent campgrounds (I joined in 2009). However, TT does not own parks in every state. Be sure to check their map to see if they have resorts in places you want to visit. The TT website says “200+ locations” but not all are free to TT members. Some are Encore resorts and some of those are 55+ age qualified. The $1200 or $569 annual dues cover 68 TT parks but additional parks are available through RPI and Trails Collection (Encore). I will look up their current dues. This TT map is a bit confusing: https://newbook.thousandtrails.com Thousand Trails does not have age restrictions on your RV.

Jack & Donna Posted September 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 Optional RPI add-on: That’s Resort Parks International. I believe I have their “Preferred” level. My annual dues are $165 plus $10 nightly fee. “Discounts at hundreds of other RV parks” plus condo and cabin discounts. RPI map and campground list at https://www.resortparks.com/learnmore.php Optional Trails Collection: “including Encore RV Resorts and many more top campgrounds across the country” … “100+ additional destinations nationwide for only $370 per year” https://www.thousandtrails.com/membership-info#purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamtracy Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 What happened with all of the people that said they wanted this? It's still available. This is the worst sale I've ever seen. I understand why it's being sold the way it is but with the people that wanted it and it didn't sale makes me feel like something is wrong or fishy. 2024 GMC 3500HD DRW Denali Diesel 2019 Keystone Avalanche 396BH USN Retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack & Donna Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 I have not heard from John’s daughter Missy as to what delays/problems have occurred. John asked her to handle the sale for him, probably so she could accept a money transfer via PayPal or such. Since Missy is not a RVer, I imagine a potential buyer should call Thousand Trails directly to inquire about any contract particulars. (Membership #296206610, 1-800-388-7788.) An offer could be made to Missy at marianoden@ymail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
