Are you all getting updates from TCM? I used to subscribe 4 years ago when I had a TC but unsubscribed a while after I sold it. Now that I have a TC again I re-subscribed..... a couple of times...I just can not get on the mailing list for some reason. I checked my spam but nothing there.I send Gordon and Angela a separate email...still no luck.I'm just wonder if others have heard how to get back on the mailing list.

I get emails from them regularly.

I had the same problem when some how I accidentally unsubscribed... this was some time ago. I spoke with Angela a few years ago about it and she indicated if I had an email from the website that I could use that as a portal of sorts to properly re-activate a subscribed status.I may not be wording properly the way I did it, but I know what you mean.If you have an old archive notification from TCM, dig it up and look to see if there are options.

I found the old emails and went into the "Unsubscribe" button to change my preferences in icontact . com. I was able to change it to "continue to receive emails from TCM". I am hoping this will do the trick. I should find out in a matter of days. Thanks!

I quit TCM altogether some time ago when they switched to their new format - I found their new format to be frustrating and uber user non-intuitive with newly released articles buried in banners, but thats just me - I avoid it altogether but I guess it works for them and others JMO :)

I like the mod contests. It's fun see what others are doing to (sometimes?) improve their rigs.

I am another one who has become accustomed to bias towards advertisers. It's everywhere. I can see through it, so it doesn't influence me.

I find the information here much better which is why I read the posts here.

Jim, I agree with that. One of the things I like about this forum is everyone is sorta in the same boat. OK, Not everyone but everyone I click on. I left LOA for a couple of reasons and one of the reasons was the constant "I would call your local Lance dealer and see what they say" Ummm, What? That's not in my world. Here the do it yourselfer is strong minded and honest. Hey I screwed it up can someone help me type of place and ten members come to the rescue. I'm way more into that line of thinking than anything anyone could ever dream up in a warranty. Believe me I do miss a couple of the guys at LOA but here I will stay.

X2.. agreed..
I'd rather be called an idiot by you crusty ol bastards than a cat in a car seat any day..

Just don’t take any truck advice from TCM. They aren’t knowledgeable at all, they’re just brochure-readers.
The day I read the article about selling an earlier model dually and buying a new SRW because the “rated” payload was higher, so be safer and set a good example, I was done with that magazine permanently.

Try Truck Camper Adventure, add them to your reading list.

I had unsubscribed years ago for they refused to answer any questions I sent them that challenged some of their view points.

Although they have good articles I am not a subscriber. I have definitely noticed a bias to their advertisers over the years. As a conservative I can respect that but as a truck camper I'll pass. Gordons self proclaimed king of truck camper-dom is also annoying. He is also the supreme leader of the weight police.

Gordon is a sell out!

That is true for just about 100% of any information you read in any magazine about one of their advertisers. I don't believe any of it from any of them. I have canceled just about all of my magazine subscriptions except for a couple of 4x4 mags which are just as bad as the rest of them, but do have a few good trip/trail reports from time to time.

I agree. Good articles. Some of the mods are fantastic!
