Is Motorhome Magazine any good? GS RV Travel/Saving guide?

Now and then I write destination articles for the magazine so I am definitely biased.

But I honestly have always enjoyed reading all the other articles as an RVer. I first got a free one-year subscription for attending an RV show in N.C. and kept it coming because I liked the articles (long before I was writing for them).

I've been following a fun series lately called "The Classic Ride" which profiles people who have vintage RVs and tells about their experiences with them. Also another series about National Parks. Always enjoy the tech info, tips from readers, pictures of mods others have done, etc.

By the way, the magazine's editor, Eileen Hubbard, is a real professional and a pleasure to work with. I've been connected with numerous publishing organizations over the years, good and bad, and these folks do a first class job.

I'm not looking to buy anything new, so the MH ad's and reviews won't do me much good. Other than that, is it worth getting a subscription? Can get 1 year for $12 or 2 years for $20. ...

It seems to me that there's usually at least one article every month that I find useful and keep for future reference. This month it had two. Plus, reading the "reader's tips" every month is fun. For a buck every month, I find it to be worth it.

Every now and then there is some useful information but mostly not.

We dropped our subscription to Motorhome Magazine after about 25 years, during the 2008 downturn in the economy. Around that time the publisher cut the number of pages in half and increased the advertisements, of those 90% seemed to be about Camping World related companies and products. We are FMCA members and Family Motor Coaching Magazine does fine for us.
