This issue is 80% advertising for Camping World/Gander RV and
Outdoors, Good Sam with some articles thrown in.

As uttered by "Ralphie" in the movie "A Christmas Story", just before he exclaimed "A CRUMMY COMMERCIAL!"..

Not exactly what you expected now days as pretty much all real content has been removed from every type of media including soft print like a "magazine" and has been fully replaced with nothing more than "commercials" from things that the author wants to push/sell.

I watched the content change get worse over the yrs, remember when you could actually buy a "Readers Digest" and it HAD more than the half dozen "articles" on ten pages that you now get..

Used to subscribe to a lot of "tech" mags that had a lot of good information and not a bunch of advertisements.. Those days are also gone..

How about "newspapers"?

Those things back when I was a kid would break your back carrying them.. Now days they have physically shrunk the papers to half the dimensions and my local one is so thin with "news" that they could easily go to printing once a week..

Not sure what you expected, when two or more mags combine, the result is often much less content and a lot more "filler" in advertisements.

Heck back in the 1990s my Dad used to subscribe to Trailer Life.. Even back then I determined that the entire mag was a huge waste of trees, paper, ink and electricity as all of the articles themselves were written as a shameless effort to sway you into thinking you "needed" the item they were writing about (IE, A CRUMMY COMMERCIAL) and to think you HAD to PAY to read that commercial drivel too..

If you don't like the new mag, send it back and ask for a refund of your subscription.. Enough folks directly complain they may get the hints and listen.. Doubt they are ever going to look at one post on the Internet, I have found most CEOs and upper management are pretty "insulated" from the reality of the world around them.
