We're headed for the campgrounds. Gotta get away from it all, now that the
candidates have made the big decisions. The Republicans have an XO not qualified to run the ship. The Democrats have a person not qualified to be XO who wants to run the ship. We'll be back in four days. -- *****Have a Spectacular Day!***** John H |

Too late, but I've got 7 days to back out. I signed up for the National at the East Coast price. In talking to other members while there, they seemed to think I got a pretty good deal.

I personally would never by a timeshare, because by the time you pay your membership fees, your usage fees, your annual fee you could have come out ahead, just by paying a regular fee at the campground of your choice. But if I did want to buy a timeshare, I would never buy it from the sales agent, I would buy one from a timeshare owner, trying to unload it at 10% of the cost of a new one. People will almost give them away, because they don't want to be stuck with the annual fees. Here is an example of how low you can get them for. http://www.rvonline.com/campgrounds/camplocate.html John, Check your email. Reg, I agree except this outfit tacks a hefty transfer fee on the resale and I think there are some other things they do to discourage private resales. It looks like they charge a $450 transfer fee, and they might have other loopholes to restrict resales, which is something no one every checks on until they want to get out of a timeshare. One of the major problems people find with all of the timeshares is the annually expenses will continue to rise even if you don't use them, and unless you can get the majority of owners to agree to do repairs and maintenance, they will quickly start to look like a dump. Even if JohnH decides he really would like to buy a timeshare I would immediately send a registered letter to Thousand Trails, canceling his contract. Then he can review his options at his leisure, at the very least, TT will make him a better offer than his current contract price. |

At the big marriott resort there. My wife and I were glad to get out of it, but selling it, and almost breaking even. We were paying $200.00 as month on a time share valued at $11,000.00 and could use it every other year. OK, we really enjoyed the place. Now comes the maintenance fee and taxes and property tax. "Property Tax" Uh-huh PROPERTY TAX on property we didn't even own. We used the timew share twice,a nd when the wife went to schedule for a third time, Marriott said it was too early for us to schedule and this was in march, so they said to schedule in June. So we called in June and they said that the time for us to schedule was too late. HUH? To make a long story short we felt we were getting bilked, because of our own ignorance. paying a large amount to be dedicated to go to a place we'd been to,a nd paying maintenance and property taxes on a place we didn't own didn't sound very good. especially when we could go through a lot of online travel places and come up with better deals in travel and places to stay at our own convenience. We were glad to get out of it. I'll never be involved with another time share. EVER! Oh! BTW, we've been "invited" to buy into time shares in Branson Mo. and Orlando FL and Ft. Lauderdale FL. If I want to take a week, I'll plan my own, save money and have greater flexability. |

If I want to take a week, I'll plan my own, save money and have greater flexability. That is the opinion of just about everyone who has ever purchased a timeshare. There is actually a very booming business where businesses rip off people trying to sell their timeshare. It seems they like to get them coming and going. The cheapest way to vacation is to vacation at those places you want to visit and pay as you go. If nothing else there is always someone who owns a timeshare, that is willing to rent it for next to nothing. |
