3rd Issue of RV Magazine

Received my issue of RV magazine today. Marcus has a welcome page and says he hears us loud and clear. He says they are still working on things to get it right but apparently this hasn't happened on the 3rd issue. It still hasn't won me over. Must be edited by someone who has never owned an RV.

  • From all the threads and posts, probably should ask if anyone likes the magazine!
  • IT IS FOR SELLERS OF CAMPERS,COOKS,Women things.home and garden junk book good to start fires that's about it.
  • “Getting it right” involves spending much of the advertising revenue on editorial content. He’s gotta pay for printing and mailing too. The ad revenue isn’t sufficient and IMO it won’t get significantly better. It isn’t Marcus’ fault the world has changed.
  • I'm trying to give it time, my subscription ends in June. But so far it has actually gotten worse each month. I'm trying to be optimistic, but it's not looking good.
    Where is the DIY repair section? Where is the help section? Where is the "readers fixes" section? Hey removed all the good content for meaningless nonsense.
    The stuff I do like is the recipes, and campgrounds. They need to really step it up!
  • I really enjoyed the Motorhome mag. This new one I canceled after seeing the 1st issue. They should have left the 2 mags as they were and not try to cut costs by combining them.
  • Like so many other printed material (newspapers, magazines, etc) it is a last gasp attempt to reinvent itself before it dies away. There are far less of all types printed material now than just a few years ago. Except maybe junk mail. But even that is slowly going away.
