We purchased our TT membership through Campground Membership Outlet. First link you listed. They will fax you a copy of any contracts you are interested in.
Be sure to check: one zone, several zones, or all zones, 50 days free or unlimited, if not unlimited what is the cost for days after the free days, how many days you can stay in a preserve 7, 14, or 21, can you go from one preserve to another or do you have to stay out of the system a week, how many days ahead can you make a reservation 60, 90, 120?
Did it all over the phone and email. Very pleased with the process and price.
Be aware that some campgrounds are old and have many small sites. Also TT does not have many campgrounds in the Midwest. Since we are full timers TT is a good value for us. If you are not full timing, Divide your purchase price by estimated number of years you expect to use the membership. Add yearly dues (usually about $550) and divide by number of days you expect to use the membership in a year. This will give you a daily cost of your campsite. This works for the unlimited plans. Some plans have a limit of 50 days free and then you pay $3 or $5 a night for any use over 50 days.
