Do you think I would get a CH during June-August with a July week of SC 1br or lock-off? If no, what months do you think would be a possibility? I know I could get it for December or January for a 1BR but am really hoping to get nicer weather.

You may have a chance in 2016, but I believe you would do better to request for 2017 instead.

Most 2016 elections have been done and already deposited, so your chances at this point for 2016 would be slimmer.

I would agree, other than a last minute deposit, your chances are better for 2017. Though something could come up in flexchange, but then you wouldn't need a 2BR platinum SC week to get it.

We were able to trade a 1BR Grande Vista or Harbour Lake week in to early June at Custom House last year.

Friend traded one bedroom and studio Plat Willow Ridge for two mid June units at CH.
I use a studio plat Willow Ridge for CH late April with ongoing search.

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
I've seen May and early June weeks online. I think if you don't need true summer and just want warmer weather than a 1 br would suffice if you put in a request 12 months or more in advance. A 1 br with the advanced OGS would probably be sufficient for summer as well, although a 2 br should put you in front of the line if you want to try for this summer and back up with next.

Just try it, you have a chance. Two months ago, put in a request at Custom House for this summer using a studio--literally next morning matched to a 15-22 Jul week.
