Well I have to say I do like reading Trailer Life. There are some good articles in there. Like the one on installing disc brakes.
BUT the OP is correct the content is sparse. The reviews are all too often nothing more than extended ads for HUGE 5th wheels that few really own.
Trailer Life is a creature of the Trailer manufacturers and Good Sam Ent. I posted here a long time ago that it's true potential is being wasted. It could be used as an editorial base from which honest criticism of TT and RV design could be used to improve the product. (Similar to the role the Auto magazines have played over the years)
It is now, more than anything, a platform for advertising the Good Sam Conglomerate of companies.
I totally agree,,,,,,,they never critique rv's from a users point of view only from a designers point of view.....which designers never have to use before being foisted on the public,,,,,,,,I viewed one onetime that as the company rep said was a weekend unit. It did not have a single closet and no drawers to keep clothes in.....he was offended when I told him I would not haul it home if he signed it over to me.....Just shows how lacking in real time use designers are,,,,,
