RV and camping magazines...

What are some good ones? I'm into boating and get a few boating magazines every month so to add to the pile I want to subscribe to a couple good RV and camping magazines.

Trailer Life is also celebrating 75 years of being in publication! I just got the latest issue and there are some great photos of vintage trailers over the years.

If you have a motor home, there's also Motorhome magazine. I think it's also owned by the same folks that publish TL.

Actually, there's not much else out there other than Trailer Life and it's sister publications. That publisher has been buying up the industry - including buying Good Sam and Camping World.
So I like Trailer Life - but you have to take any product recommendation with a grain of salt - because it's most likely something they sell.

It you have a tablet or large screen phone you may want to check out the Trailer Life app. You can then read your new issues even when you are on the road.

Is there ANYTHING other than Trailer Life or Motorhome Life?

I have a subscription to Trailer Life, and I get a MH Life every now and then. I really like both of them (same publisher, so format and style are the same, but content is slightly different), but I'm usually done with it in 24 hours. I mostly read them cover to cover too.

What else is there offline? Anything?

Magazine? What's a magazine? I do what BuddyRay does, use my iPad4. From the way the world is evolving, magazines will soon be a thing of the past anyway.


I know..I know..I don't like it either.

I have subscribed to Trailer Life for the past 3 years and I have been very pleased. It is the only magazine that I read from front to back. I have learned a lot of tips and tricks. I also enjoy the reviews of places to visit.

I know..I know..I don't like it either.
I use an app on my iPad called "Flipboard". It's user-based content from various internet sources based on particular areas of interest shared in a magazine-like platform. It's pretty neat, but sometimes the content isn't updated often enough for my liking. It's a pretty neat app though.

Thanks for the links Seann45. I was able to look at some back issues and there are some good articles there. Book marked for future reading.
