We what to get into it

[@terrytuell3361]

Best thing we did!! We full timed for almost 3 years. I was able to re-locate, change careers, and had an incredible experience traveling the country. The experience and knowledge you and your children gain from full time travel is worth it’s weight in gold.

[@amyjones5584]

We purchased our used package from Kim and absolutely had no regrets and then when their new adventure package came out with the early purchase deal we contacted her again and she was fabulous she went over everything with us to make sure it would be something that would work for us and then contacted a rep for us and we got it . We stay exclusively at TT/ encore parks in a year we have spent $ 118.00 out of pocket to stay somewhere and then used Passport america for it . These 2 senior clampers are loving life with no regrets .We hope to see you out there , Stay well and travel safe .

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks for sharing Amy! We love to hear the positives! Happy travels!

[@RoadVenturesUSA]

If you're fulltiming on a budget,... A thousand trails membership is a must. Some parks get you to a location while others fulfill your needs. It was one of the best investments we made preparing for this lifestyle. Jason and Rae have videos breaking down the membership levels and how the system works that we are appreciative of. Also. Loved the bloopers.

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks so much 😊 and thanks for your input!!

[@jimster1577]

I bought a used membership from Kim at campground membership outlet recently. April 2021. She was GREAT! She made everything super smooth. Saved thousands over new. Kim is very patient, informative, and very non rushed. She answers emails surprisingly quick. She knows everything!

[@GetawayCouple]

She is definitely awesome!

[@jimster1577]

@@GetawayCouple For sure. I know my message sounds like a paid add lol. But it's true. She lived up to the hype. I sent her a message at about 9:45p.m. her time on a Saturday. In the message I was like don't need to get back to me before Monday. Please enjoy your weekend. She answered like 8 minutes later. In a world of automated customer service, she was a breath of fresh air.

[@Thethriftpicker]

We are full time and our thousand trails membership has saved us a ton and we just have the basic with trails. It was like $800. Per year. Way cheaper then paying full cost.

[@GetawayCouple]

We do love ours! Thanks for the comments!

[@Thethriftpicker]

@@GetawayCouple your welcome! :)

[@paulashealthyliving]

@@Thethriftpicker do you find that you can book with the 60 day window? We are not full time but are hoping to head south from Canada once the border opens. Mostly the west coast down to California. I fear that with the basic membership that we will never find anything because the folks with a longer window will have snapped them up.

[@Thethriftpicker]

@@paulashealthyliving that was my only issue but only on places that were very popular. Like the keys in the winter. That was not gonna happen. But even the people with the big membership didn’t get it. So idk if it’s worth it. If we were going to be full time longer then we would’ve got the bigger one for sure.

[@alipat9272]

We couldnt get into any florida campsite this past year. Every time we try to use our membership everything is booked full. East coast camper

[@briancray1232]

Many people regret the quality of the campgrounds in the TT system. The question is one really of cost. I am not seeking luxury at a campgound. I purchased a zone pass for my winter season of 2019/2020 and recieved great value for my purchase. A zone pass is a 1 year zone pass in the $500 range. No membership cost. Unlimited 2 week stays with a 60 day booking window. I stayed twice in las vegas and once in palm springs. Good value. Your expectations should be realistic, and you need to purchase the appropriate pass/membership that works for how much you will use it.

[@GetawayCouple]

Great input - thanks Brian!

[@snookrookie]

We are full time for years and tt member since 2003. We love it. No regrets.

[@GetawayCouple]

Great to hear Robert! It's not always doom and gloom. There are so many plans that peeple just need to do the research to see what works for them!

[@jerrymcbroom8560]

My biggest gripe about Th Trails is the massive number of seasonal sights and often the best sights. We didn't sign on for that

[@GetawayCouple]

Understand that. They are all very different.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Yep! Typical timeshare as I've heard of!

[@snookrookie]

We bought new in 2003 and have upgraded 2 more times. Yes you can buy used and its a good thing to do because it saves you money and helps someone sell there's when they no longer need it. Thats a positive to be able not be stuck with a membership you longer want.

[@taber1969]

Kimberly is awesome!!! Ive been talking to her last couple years and finally bought my Elite TODAY!!!! Woot woot!

[@sifilmaker]

Nice video, we bought an RV right before the pandemic and finally took it around the country last year for 45 days, stayed in 6 states, the entire cost was about $6000. Almost $3500 was actually fuel costs. Looked into Thousand Trails.. won't fit into our style as we camp maybe a dozen times. Seem like a good thing for someone who is on the RV Road year round though. tks for the video.. subscribed..

[@Seashellsbytheseashore21]

idk where you live, but for me the southwest zone camping pass pays for itself within about 11 stays. and i'm just doing tent camping until the fall. LOL. but then again, everything is $$$$$ in california.

[@jenniferstuart1473]

It used to be outdoor world. We ha e used it since 1986. We still love it. Has gone a bit shabby , but save so much money and have a lifetime membership, and I inherited this. My kids and friends can use it to

[@silentmajority2347]

Great video guys! We have the elite with trails collection and it’s paid itself off in the past two years. For us, it was spending as many nights as possible in their parks to pay it off quickly. Now it’s just a thing of staying 10 nights a year and our dues are paid too. (We still stay 100+) another issue they have is the reservation system. We notice that they leave about 10% of the spots open for retail customers. I understand the profit of this but it makes it difficult at times. Days blocked but notice there’s plenty of open places. The only other issue is the roadways in the parks could all use repair.... we added another membership that allows us to stay at parks where there is no TT for about $15 on average that are normally $50+ night parks.

[@GetawayCouple]

Great to hear the good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@mikebreannesufrin9412]

We purchased thousand trails also! Would you share the other membership you got for states that TT is not in?

[@arlenecarter]

What other membership did you buy?

[@kellypowell1483]

What is this add on called?

[@JB-mo8rs]

I got a free, one year membership when I bought my trailer. They keep harassing me about locking in a reservation. I told them that I’ll call them. It’s irritating

[@GetawayCouple]

Ah the marketing!

[@RoamingwiththeRamsays]

Something we looked into early on and decided to pass on. But now maybe it's time for us to take another look at it and see if there is an option that fits us. Love the bloopers at the end.

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks guys!

[@twbelieves]

Wow that’s a lot of money for batteries. 9k not including a labor charge. What benefit and savings is there?

[@SomeStrangemysterious]

You really have to decide how you camp and if you’re going to get value from your purchase. What works for me is buying an annual zone pass, currently I paid $520 in 2024. I chose the southwest which gives me all the TT parks in California, Az, Nv and Colorado. I can easily add more zones as needed or not. I can opt out of buying the pass for a particular year or purchase it later in the year if I have other travel plans that would limit my use of the annual pass for that year. It’s totally worth it to me, over the cost of a full membership, which still requires a yearly maintenance cost. The booking window is only a max of 60 days out, but that has not been a problem for me and the way I travel. Happy camping!

[@cajunpagan]

So buying the Camping Pass keeps you from being stuck in the membership, correct?

[@chadkoller7809]

Thank you for the video we are trying to plan for our retirement. I just subscribed to your channel

[@kenrosa9253]

I bought a thousand trails years ago just after they started this timeshare. I bought it used but back then you could buy it directly from a private party which saved you thousands. From what I understand you cannot do it that way anymore. Do they still cap the amount you pay when you get to the age of 65? Also when I had camped through thousand trails they did not allow permanent residents as they do now and after looking at some you tube videos and reviews from current owners it appears that a lot of them are worse for wear.

[@denniskissinger7937]

This is our second year with TT and we have saved us money. Normal campground costs in our area is $70-$90/ night, last years TT per night costs were $45/night. Pre owned memberships are the way to go

[@denniskissinger7937]

@james-rd4dq happy for you that you are soooooo into boondocking, to each their own. For a lot of people TT has been a positive, but i will only speak for myself. I like the option of scheduling and knowing I have a spot. The TT" s I've been to are in better shape than some private campgrounds, and the more you camp, the less your membership cost. There's a number of reasons for the resale. Original owner of the membership passes away and the family would rather sell the membership. and you have people that bought it and full timed for an amount of time, now want don't need it. I'm certainly not an expert in this, but TT has worked for me.

[@kimvandertill8928]

We’ve been back and forth trying to decide whether or no to invest in a TT membership as we near our 3/4 time RV status. Have seen yours and other’s videos on the topic. Biggest concern is that it appears many of the parks are run down or sites are extremely tight. Would love to know if any of the regrets have been for these reasons and what you’ve found.

[@marychristie6194]

We tried TT and the campgrounds are really bad-really run down -No way 🥺

[@itsrvlifenowornever6827]

We don’t have a RV now, but we bought from Kimberly as well and don’t regret it at all. Hopefully getting a used A diesel to remodel then back at it on a more modest scale as we built a bardo.

[@kennethshaw8388]

Thanks for your balanced and informative video. We're new to RVing and will be taking week-long seasonal trips rather than full time living. The RV dealership briefly explained the "free" Thousand Trails membership during the paperwork session. All sounded like a nice perk until the endless voice messages, emails and hard sell that followed providing our contact info. Reminded me of those annoying timeshare sales pitches at the resorts and theme parks. We haven't been camping yet since delivery on our 5th wheel RV is in April. The marketing folks at Thousand Trails need to realize that this is a BIG turn-off.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

That's what timeshares do! Finance experts like Dave Ramsey advise to stay away from them.

[@brendanwalsh1675]

Thanks guys! Our hesitation is that we'd be looking for a NW section and it doesn't look as if there are any 50' pull thru's. Thanks again. Brendan & Lena

[@davidking4525]

For full timers TT is a no brainer. I bought used Elite Connection through CMO and it has saved me tons of money and I have enjoyed most of the parks, only a few have been disappointing.

[@MidkiffMemories]

[@RoadieWingZZ]

There aren’t parks in every state and the conditions of many are really poor. Amenities and facilities are often dramatically different and haven’t been maintained. Roads are horrific in some with potholes that will literally swallow your vehicle/trailer wheels.

[@travismurray9160]

Any info you can provide on the new "Cabin Pass"? Used you guys as a referral before. Thx.

[@Mybeardog]

Thanks you. That was a big help. We will probably be mostly boondocking so the expense of a membership wouldn't be a wise choice for us.

[@GetawayCouple]

That totally makes sense! It's not for everyone 😊

[@douglasvernieu5943]

I have a question that I can't seem to get an answer to..... I was considering getting an elite membership which allows me to stay in the parks for up to 21 days at a time. But what if I wanted to stay in the same park? Would thousand trails allow me to just pay a nightly fee and stay at the same Park for months, instead of packing up every 21 days to go somewhere else???

[@Pam-x5b]

I have the same question

[@comervwithus2788]

Are you getting back on the road or selling this membership?

[@cindyrose4155]

My parents bought their Thousand Trails Membership in 1974....we purchased ours in 2000. We are absolutely happy with our membership. There are parks that need to be upgraded/renovated, some are in beautiful condition, and others are okay. What we don’t like.....the annual site rentals and the TT Pass, they take spots away from people who have purchased their memberships for thousands of dollars just to be told a park is full!!! People who buy the annual pass are paying the equivalent of our annual dues without having to pay thousands!

[@GetawayCouple]

Great input Cindy - thanks for sharing!

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

Thanks guys! It's always controversial and most either love it or hate it. It's not for everyone for sure, just depends on each persons needs, wants, and likes. Have a great Sunday! 😊

[@MX-CO]

I'm planning to join and I'm considering a more expensive option but I'm struggling to find the value in the more expensive options?? Can someone help me see the value? From my understanding you have the annual fee either way, So the cheapest option seems way better to me? Because with the cheapest option you can stay 3 weeks per month, with the more expensive option you can also stay 3 weeks per month ? Longer booking time is that really worth thousands of dollars more?

[@slickwilly4613]

If I wanted to buy a used membership so I could travel across the states over a 2 year period then, after that time sell the membership, would that be cost effective. Also, if my travel was fairly spontaneous, booking 2 weeks out, would I be out of luck?

[@slickwilly4613]

@@kristinab0322 well that's not good. Would you know what type of membership can be bought used and can be resold?

[@skateguy50]

I don't get what the membership is about vs the yearly pass. If your yearly dues is the same as the yearly pass why the upfront cost?

[@ChristinaJohnson-kb6ox]

Maybe so people don’t have to commit to a membership? The pass is only good for 14 days then you have to stay out of a TT park for 7days I think. A membership(depending on the one you get) allows you to stay in a park for 21 days but you can move to another park if you wanted to.

1000 Trails on the West or East Coasts & their add-ons get into more expensive budgets. The parks are very particular with your Furbabies. Lots of reservations restrictions as well (know your length). If you can't understand all the rules, the millions of rules, you won't enjoy. BTW, we've been to Encore Parks the ones not on either coasts with our RV PARK Membership (Not 1000 Trails). If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything.

Haven;t heard anything good about 1000 trails. Many of them about the entitled long term campers who think they own the place.

[@ParryPickleballking-es2el]

I spoke to someone from Thousand Trails today and I think you are making it seem more difficult than it actually is. If the resale person you keep pumping can explain it, so can the sales person from Thousand Trails. He did a screen share and it was explained very well.

[@ParryPickleballking-es2el]

@james-rd4dq that is exactly why we didn't join. When I asked if they cap the membership, he said no. So I said, it's possible that you wouldn't be able to get a spot. Case in point would be your friends. It's an great deal if you can get into places. But if you're not going to limit memberships then it will get to the point where you it's a waste of money.

For those of us that are new to RVing.....You should introduce and define what is "Thousand Trails."

[@aliciawilson8649]

You pay an upfront cost and then are able to use the facilities for given amounts of time throughout the year.

[@ParryPickleballking-es2el]

The other thing people should know is if you buy a used membership, you're it! There is no reselling it. So you just helped the people you bought it from recoup up to 75% of their membership fees!! Plus a new membership gets 10 years of 1 week free cabin usage. $3,000 in RPI credit. I think buying new is the way to go myself.

You can resale some used memberships! That was one of the selling points when we got ours through Kim.

The campgrounds are dumps and not kept up -No way -not going to pay thousands of dollars for dumpy campgrounds 🤯

Thanks for the input Mary. There are some great ones out there, but it's not for everyone.

We bought our TT memberships October 2021, but our RV was not delivered until May 31, 2022. To date, we have used 3 different TT sites from Tucson to San Diego, CA and they have great. So far our cost has been ZERO in 54 days. And we have booked to January 12 2023 and all sites is costing us ZERO. I have seen the sights before and got several great recommendations at all the sites we are staying. I also have 210 advance reservation set-up on my TT.

Customer service is my issue. We purchased a yearly zone pass+ encore, $900, then a week or so later Covid lockdown happened. We were only able to book 4 nights the whole year! That is pretty spendy considering all the perks were closed! We thought that since our Governor locked down our State and we were directed not to leave our own county and the campground in our county was booked solid, that maybe Thousand trails would give us some expanded time. Nope. They were also rude about it. We did not renew

Oh wow - that was bad timing for sure!
