hi! my name is charles and i'm fairly new to timeshares. i learned enough about DVC hanging around the DIS to feel comfortable with a small contract at OKW for trips to wdw but i'd like to learn more about other timeshares.
from what little i've read, foxrun seems like it might be a good place to start. i'm only a few hours away so it's an easy drive and i think i'd enjoy staying there on a regular basis. this thread suggests that it is also at least a decent trader in II, although i know trading power and getting ACs can change from year-to-year. at present, i'm fairly flexible and would be able to take advantage of last minute deals and offseason travel so decent trading power for reasonable maintenance fees intrigues me...
i noticed an ebay auction that says a foxrun resort is affiliated with RCI. are some parts of the resort not affiliated with II? is the RCI membership included in the annual dues? (BTW, i've read the FAQ on II fees, but can't find the RCI FAQ.)
generally, i just wanted to hear from current or former foxrun or other NC timeshare owners (especially in the mountains) to get some advice and warnings about things that i might need to watch out for. i did read that foxrun was downgraded by II but intends to regain that status...if y'all have any opinions on the quality of the management group there, i'd like to hear them. thanks.
(BTW, if i posted in the wrong area, i'm ok with being kicked to a different forum.
