Just a quick comment: Pianotuna, we have been members of TT for over 10 years. We are not and have never been full-timers. The membership has paid for itself and continues to do so.
I was previously in the accounting/finance field so of course I did the "how much is the up front costs and yearly maint versus staying in private/state parks?"
We use the system 30 to 40 nights a year and figure the membership costs were covered after 6.3 years. We now pay less than $500 a year maint fees. At $40 a night (low end of private campground) we would have used the maint fee in about 12 nights.
Anyway just wanted to point out that it's like most anything in life you often get out of it what you put into it. We use, like it, and save money with it.
I would agree with your assessment if you only use it 10 - 12 nights a year.
