I would like to welcome you to the RV Living Travel and Adventure channel, my name is Jamison
Haponenko and in this video I want to share with how we were able to get killer deals
and discounts on RV Parks and RV resorts
When my wife, I and our 2 kids traveled in our 40' Motor Coach for a two year time period,
you know when we first went out on the road we had no idea how to get discounts on RV
parks and we did not even know RV resorts even existed
Now the 1st place that we found was called Encore Resorts, now these guys are connected
to another company called 1000 Trails, what 1000 Trials does is they can actually set
you up with what they call a zone pass where you can stay, you could pick a certain zone
around the United States that you planned on staying in, so what was really cool about
it was that when you picked a zone, the zones if I remember correctly were about $500 or
$600 dollars, so once you picked the zone and you paid for it they would allow you to
stay in that zone for 30 days Free, so that was really cool it gave you a little bit of
an incentive and discount right off the bat, then what happened is when you decided to
stay in any of those parks after that you would pay a $3.00 a night resort fee.
So at the time that you are watching this video they may have changed some things a
little bit so you are going to want to go to their website and I'll put a link to their
website in the description below so you don't have to go searching for it.
So what we did was we went with the zone pass for like the first 6 months and we thought
you know what... this is really cool, when we got to a resort in Orlando that they had,
we actually met with the Camp Host there, so this Camp Host - they actually turned us
onto this what they call and Elite package for 1000 Trails and here is the deal, when
you looked at the way the Elite package is set up, its kinda set up like a time share
so what they do is they say ok you can come in you can stay at these resorts and you can
stay at all of them throughout the United States, so this is actually a piece of paper
that they gave us explaining exactly what other resorts we can stay in, you can see
here that they had RPI, there were 174 resorts with RPI, then Enjoy America they had 450
Resorts, 1000 Trails there were 80 resorts and then Encore there were 90 resorts.
With our membership we could stay at any of the 80 - 1000 Trails resorts throughout the
United States and then after our Free 30 day stay it was only $3.00 per night resort fee,
and guys what was really cool about this is it included 50amp
so then they gave us all these other books I have layed out on the table here, our membership
also included an affiliate company called Resort Parks International you can see here
that it was $10.00 a night at 174 parks, they said this would be your 2nd choice if you
couldn't find a 1000 Trails to stay at.
The next one was Enjoy America you could get 1/2 price nights anywhere from $8.00 to $25.00
per night at 450 parks they said this would be your 3rd choice.
The fourth choice was to stay at any of their Encore Resorts, the Encore Resorts were $23.00
per night at 90 parks throughout the United States this would be our 4th choice.
What I found was really awesome is that Encore actually had a resort called Sunshine Key
which was don't in the Florida Keys and you could stay there for $23.00 per night, also
included in our package was Preferred Access and this gave us access to big discounts to
over 3000 Condo's and cruises, now I just want to make it clear that inside the membership
they had a few different stipulations that you had to stick through like you could only
say 21 days at a 1000 Trails Resort and then you would have to be out of the system for
a certain amount of days or you could stay 14 days and you could go park to park staying
14 days.
So guys I hope this video help, guys this could save you potentially thousands of dollars
per year so if you are looking at going full time RVing or if you are just wanting to part
time and get away for a month or two this is really awesome stuff so to get more information
