You can't believe a sales pitch anymore than the "used car salesman" but with that being said, we didn't have to be sold on a Thousand Trails membership...we sought it out. Don't worry, I won't get on a soap box about it cause it's not for everyone. Were not full-time here but we use it from 120-150 days a year plus throw in a few weeks of using RPI...quite Happy with it all!
I've looked into CRA due to the fact we like Emerald Cove so much. A new membership is just way, way out of sight but as with many membership Park's a resale can be had fairly reasonably.
