Have you ever stayed at other RV parks, I never had a problem getting full hookups at non TT RV parks, gov campgrounds don't always have them many thousands of private ones do and does not require a yearly membership or thousands up front with strict requirement's of where you can and can not stay.
Free bird is how I travel and free over night at Walmart and truck stops are the best deal with zero membership cost..
As for Wi-Fi I carry my own and have it anywhere at anytime..
We are now in Kanab, UT at a private park, so yes we do use them and we do "pay a premium" to do so in our heads. I try to base my nightly stay's on an average of about $25/night. We have used Cabela's a few times and will continue to do that on nights we are driving most of the day and just want to stop briefly.
As for "thousands up front" in the cost I bought an existing membership so the depreciation was paid by someone else. We have about $1000 into the first year which has basically paid for itself in the number of nights we have already stayed.
We equate Thousand trails to a timeshare. We can use it in a lot of places to see a lot of different things. It may not be perfect for everyone but works for us as we are traveling around the country.
