Thousand Trails as Alternative for a Night Now & Then?
Going back to full timing this summer and wondered about Thousand Trails reviews. Possibly a fall back for a night or two when nothing suitable can be found in boony world???

Most all thousand trails parks are in PPA. The difference is you can stay under TT membership for two weeks at a time, any time. With PPA, you are usually limited to 2-5 days, typically during the week and sometimes only in certain seasons.
We have both but PPA saves us a lot more money. We got our first year of a TT zone pass free and used it in the NW - they have some decent parks up there. Our second year was $299 for the SE zone and we have used it two weeks total in Florida and will probably not use it again for the rest of the year. Over the last year, PPA saved us over $1000; TT probably $200 (after including the fee).
If one likes to go sit in one spot for two weeks in a particular zone, TT is worth it. If one likes to jump around and spend more time in state/federal parks with an RV Park as a place to do laundry, PPA is worth it.
We probably won't renew our TT unless they offer us another deal. We will renew PPA. It is entirely too convenient and savings friendly not to.
