Hi! Newbie here. I'm so glad I've found this site and have already learned so much about timeshares. So now I feel I finally know enough to ask a specific question for my situation 
My grandparents own multiple timeshares and have offered one to my husband and me. It's a 1 BR, fixed week (#42) deeded unit in Hilton Head Island at the Sea Crest Surf & Racquet Club which is affiliated with RCI. Maintenance fee is about $630 yr. As a family, we took many vacations here growing up and loved them, but currently my husband and I are spending most of our vacation time exploring variety of destinations domestically and internationally. So the root of my question is what is the exchange power we'd expect with RCI? It seems we'd be trading with our week versus through their points system. On our own, we've enjoyed splurge traveling to more premier destinations at 4-5 star properties. Once children enter the mix we expect to take more modest vacations, but for those years in between I'm trying to figure out if we'd be satisfied with the kinds of exchanges we could expect with this timeshare. RCI website won't tell you much if you aren't already a member. Any advice is welcome!!
