Thousand trails resales vs zone pass?

I notice that it looks like TT is now only selling the zone passes. Has anyone had any trouble after buying resale "original type" memberships having them honored?

The original style doesn't include the Encore parks, does it? I know that some of what people think are TT are really the NACO/LT & to watch for a resale that includes those.

How much are the annual fees, generally? How hard is it to get out of a membership you no longer want? Didn't the law change about that some time back?

We are still considering whether to join, or not join, a membership system aince we are preparing to fulltime starting next month. Thanks!

Memberships like Thousand Trails work great if the parks are located where you want to go. Add ons like Coast to Coast, ROD, and RPI increase the number of parks that you can access at discount rates. According to the TT website, the zone pass gives you discounts at Encore Parks: "Q: What other discounts will I receive as a Zone Camping Pass member?
A: All Thousand Trails members using their RVs receive discounts on stays at Encore Resorts. These discounts vary by resort. For a list of discounts please refer to the Thousand Trails website at www.ThousandTrails.com or our TrailBlazer magazine."

Another way to try out the Thousand Trails/Encore Parks without a long term commitment is the Ready Camp Go Value Card which gives you access to Thousand Trails and Encore parks.
