My own thoughts about TCM is that it is a small mom and pop type operation that has it's limitations on what it can be. You can't review what you don't have in front of you and Host and Bigfoot are in the smaller niche of the market and may not have the resources available to provide demo units for review. Could simply just be a matter of resources.
I don't believe there is a print edition at this time though I hope some day that might be possible. I'll take a look at back issues of "Trailer Life" magazine at my library on occasion but wish there was a printed version of TCM to browse instead. Yes I know it's available online but there are times that I prefer reading a printed magazine while relaxing outdoors in a shaded chair next to a creek instead of burning my eyeballs out staring at an electronic device.
Unless anyone can cite actual proof that TCM refuses to review campers from companies that don't advertise I think it would be better for us to not just assume the worse. TCM likely doesn't make a lot of money and we wouldn't want to risk it's demise because we had poor information. Since there are a few people who have actually met the owners, perhaps they might be able to offer some firsthand knowledge on the topic.
