Can no longer afford high maintenance fee. (by Mike N.):

A timeshare owner only having to pay maintenance fee each year is small in most cases to what you would spend to rent for seven days. This had to be part of anyone's thinking while buying the timeshare to understand this was a bargan.

We own two units and paid $884.00 this year for one unit and will pay this amount or more for 2010 use for both units as one is even years only and it would cost us much more to go on vacation and rent a hotel just to sleep in for seven nights.

I agree 100%. My MF for my summer New England, 2 BR, unit is around $600. A 2-star hotel in that area during the summer can cost $90-$100/night.

With my two other units (VA and RCI Points) my total MF for the three is around $1300. For this, I can take 3-4 weeks vacation a year.

Phil, Enjoy your vacation during the 4th, I'll be doing some camping next week in VA.
