Trailer Life vs Motorhome magazine

Anyone subscribe to either of these? Which one do you get more information from or like best? Thanks!

    Begins in Feb 2014. You need to let them know your preferences, so go to GS Club and read the announcement.

  • I get both. I had a motorhome 2 years ago and traded to e TT last year. The MH mag subscription did not end yet.

    They are pretty much the same as indicated by others. They just are geared towards the consumer in the title.

    TL Mag has articles about tow vehicles where MH Mag has articles about the MH chassis.

    If you have a TT go with TL, if you have a MH go with MH.

    Both will come with the Good Sam Highways insert next year. They are doing away with the seperate Good Sam Highways mag.
  • Basically, one is for Trailers, one is for Motorhomes.....but generally, the information is the same.

    If you have a MH, then I'd get Motorhome Magazine....if you have a Trailer, go for the Trailer Life.
  • I have TL, have bought MH. Both pretty much the same info wise, IMO. Just appeal to the customer basae, lots of ads supposed to be getting better about it, now going to be the way the old Highways mag is distributed to good sam members on a quarterly basis. Anyhow I got the MH when we were looking at motorhomes and it did have some info that was helpful, but most is same as in TL. Instead of subscribing, just read both for a few months and see which meets your needs. There are some good articles to go visit in TL, not so crazy about the write ups on the new trailers as they normally are on the high end of $$ and really not that interesting to me. The truck tests included are fairly primitive in information but not really the topic of the articles.
