Nazpaz,
I may have missed it in your post but what are your cost for Thousand Trails and any other memberships that you have. I think those cost would be helpful to others.
The line right under camping costs is annual memberships. That figure - prorated out to a monthly cost - is mostly TT but also includes PPA, Good Sam, and Escapees. Let me confess that that number is actually a bit high because I took advantage of special offers from PPA and Escapees (BTW, Escapees is having a good sale right now) and got multi-year memberships. I won't need to renew either of those for several years.
If you don't have a Thousand Trails membership already you may have some additional start up costs, and depending on whether you get a "new" membership or buy one from an individual that cost would range from $0 (a gift) to thousands of dollars if you go straight to the most expensive membership, bought from the company.
Good luck in your research!
