RV'ing Discount Member Ships and Affiliations

Knowing what I know now I would never have purchased the memberships we did over the years when we were just camping for weekends and vacations, then going full time. When you factor in the initial purchase price, then the yearly fees for just the privilege of owning the membership, you better be using those parks a lot, or you will never be ahead. We full time traveled 8 years and had a 1000 trails membership we bought new but at a steep discount. That one we did save money by using their parks but you had to plan on being where their parks were, not always where we wanted to be. We ended up giving that membership away.
Spend a year out there traveling and see where you normally like to stay, then you can decide. The overall winner for low costs, big money savings was PassPort America.
