We hope to launch the first issue in July. This will be an App based magazine designed to read on your phone or tablet. We’ve spent considerable sums developing both Apple and Android apps to allow anyone anywhere in the world to download the app and read for free. While it will be a club magazine, it will be generic enough to interest every motorhome enthusiast regardless if they are a member.

What will be in it?
I have commissioned a few regular writers to produce interesting content. These include well-known names in motorhome journalism and er.. me. We will also re-purpose content already on MotorhomeFun, and some members will be paid to contribute too. We will commission all sorts of reviews where Funsters can contribute and often earn money doing so. These will include reviews of vans, sites, kit and travels. One of the largest dealers in the country has vans ready right now for us to do real world tests and reviews.

So why a magazine when it is so easy to just write articles on our forums?
Two reasons, the first is advertising revenue. We hope that the combination of quality content and being free in all the App stores will make this one of the most read motorhome magazines making advertising space in the magazine valuable.

A recruiting magnet
The second is that the magazine will act as a signpost to MotorhomeFun. Back of fag-packet calculations reveal that while Motorhomefun might be one of the largest collection of motorhome enthusiasts in one place; we account for less than 10% of Motorhome owners. So 9 out of 10 motorhome owners have either never heard of MotorhomeFun or choose not to look in here.

The magazine should be a good driver of membership. We have always enjoyed year on year membership increases but many other forums have not; they have been beaten into submission by Facebook Groups. My aim is that MotorhomeFun Magazine will become a shining light pointing at motorhomefun, ensuring that this place remains the best place to be if you are a motorhome enthusiast.

If you are interested in contributing, if you have any ideas for content, or how the magazine might succeed, do let me know. Meanwhile Watch this space . (y)

Can’t wait to read all about the fork lift truck driving, grey waste dumping, A frame towing, overweight contributors with wonky levelling jacks.......

Seriously, a really good idea and good luck with the enterprise (y)

So much knowledge & experience on here so good to think that a bit more of it will be shared with the wider motorhome community so they can see what they have been missing! Will watch the development of this with interest.
 
Great, look forward to seeing the first issue.

At last, looking forward to honest reviews of vans rather than the “be nice to the converter” stuff normally written for fear of upsetting the advertisers
