I subscribed to Trailer Life for several years, then one day realized there was really nothing "new" or "fresh" in it any more. I let my subscription die then but occasionally pick one up from the book store magazine section. Maybe I've been an RVer too long, but I don't find too much really "new or fresh" even now.
I think if you are new to RVing and travel trailers, it's a pretty good magazine to have for a couple or three years. As you age in experience with your RV, you'll find surfing the internet and watching YouTube videos much more beneficial, because after 2 or 3 years of RVing, you'll interests and needs will begin to become more single focused, and the internet will let you search for those specific things you're looking for. Where as, the magazine is still general attempting to reach a wider audience.
So if you are a new RVer, yes, Trailer Life has a lot of value for a while. You can learn a lot and pick up a lot of ideas and find it very interesting. But don't be surprised or disappointed when all of a sudden it doesn't reach your needs of interest any more. When that happens, let the subscription die. Look for another source of "stimulation."
