It must be hard for any magazine now days. With falling sales they have more adverts to help with costs, which leads to people not buying it as it's full of adverts. Wonder how much longer magazines will be around.

I can sympathise to a certain extent with the people that produce MMM. I imagine they spend a lot of time every month trying to come up with something new and interesting to put in the magazine but, as has been said, most subjects have been covered plenty of times.

Also, who are they going to aim the magazine at? Too basic to appeal to newcomers and it will put off experienced motorhomers and vice versa.

I can't accept the bias that is in many of their reviews and 'news' items though. I don't think I have ever read of a new motorhome being severely criticised, they aways seem to emphasise the good points to keep the advertisers happy.

I re-subscribed at the Peterborough show, have bought it off and on for more years than i care to remember. Had recently been buying nearly every issue, so thought subscription was good idea, yes it is geared towards advertisers but can't think of any magazine which isn't. spend less on a quarters subscription than J does on his weekly 'boys night out' think the youngest is 69 :LOL:

Also all magazines of what ever subject come stuffed with leaflets for you to fill the recycling bin. When going to the shows how many people look at the bag of leaflets that they are given at the pay gate or is it straight in the bin for them to.

Who's more in need of saving, those who read the magazine (like me) or those who write the letters? Current issue, page 13!

It is really repetitive to me, used to like it and look forward to an evenings reading.
Now just a quick flick thro, no more after this subscription ends.
