A little about TT.
Yes, you can buy a resale, but most of the time, it will only give you access to the parks that were in the system when the original contract was purchased. It usually will not include any future parks Equity Life Style may purchase, or ones they purchased after the original contract was signed. To upgrade is as much as you would have paid to get a new contract.
If you plan on getting a resale, get the membership # and call ELS directly to see what is included. There are so many different memberships out there, and all of them differ.
Some are park to park, with no time out of the system, some are 120 advance reservations, etc.
TT can be a good deal if you plan on going park to park, which is what a lot of the members do.
The annual dues are not frozen until you are 65, and will increase yearly after your purchase.
The resale options do not include the RPI park option. That is something you have the option of purchasing separately for $159 a year. That gives you RPI Parks for $10 a night. So, that is an additional cost above and beyond the original fee.
Encore parks are $20 a night, and sometimes not included in the older, resale memberships.
I would suggest you personally go drive through some TT parks, if there any by you. We have checked out several of them in the Oregon, Washington area. A good portion of them do not have full hookups, and are pretty tight spots, with little satellite and cell service capability.
Another bad thing, is a good portion of the prime spots are taken by " annual resident " campers.
Check the rvonthego website for some park names, and check the reviews on rvparkreviews.com before you make any decisions.
It is not something you should walk into blindly. It is a 38 page contract, and as others have stated, they will attach your assets for non payment.
PM me if you have any other questions. We are still considering whether to join or not, and have done extensive research on it. There is a lot of fine print in those contracts, be it resale, or directly from Equity Life Style Properties.
