[teddybear]

Thank you

 

[Jeffr3y]

Paper magazines have gone the same way television has everything is online now, it's a good thing for the rain forests re the magazines in my opinion, I had piles of what car magazines and mmm magazines in bedroom cupboards, don't know I kept them TBH

 

[bladerunner]

What articles, I might read them, I usually skip through it

One on Mr trucky around September. And one on skiing from MH last edition.

Just received this month's MMM magazine.. Crikey looked at retail price...£9.99...Could not believe it...Thank goodness I signed up years ago and pay £ 8.99 a quarter delivered...Not the magazine it was when I first started reading it back in 2003...BUSBY

Cancelled in late 2018 after subscribing at the Lincoln show that year.
Found this site and never looked back.
Much more info and completely relevant.
Oh, and the prices of some featured motorhomes in the MMM magazine , even then, we're ridiculous as I think they thought all their target audience were loaded!

Yet another vote for Libby. Huge range of magazines including some quite expensive ones. New Scientist is on there for example. But not easy to read on a phone. Need a tablet of some sort for easy reading

You people have time to read magazines AND MotorhomeFun??

Are you the same people who worry about TV signals and how to wash the 'van roof?

 

[The Ice Man]

I used to look forward to the 3Ms coming and reading it cover to cover.
My sister in law does a subscription for me at Xmas but now on average it’s 68% advertising. Find the only readable bits are from the experts and letters section.
Now it’s just a qwik flick thru and stacked up in the corner. Going to get sis in law to get me my Private Eye subscription instead.

 

[davidroxburgh]

Just get good specs. The print size in Private Eye is a pain!

 

[LesW]

get me my Private Eye subscription

Don't forget the blood pressure pills.

 

[Kups]

Get MMM, Practical Motorhoming and Campervan all free with library Libby app.

Not free on Suffolk Libraries. It's listed and contents listed but only a small sample available to read. I guess that they don't subscribe.

Need to lobby them to provide it.

I'll give it a try but the Library Service has had its budget cut year on year for some time. Magazine subscriptions are an easy target for cuts.

Just cancelled MMM subscription after signing up for the library service. Have signed in and am trying to get to grips with reading the mag on my PC. It keeps coming up with a portion of the page and i can't figure out yet how to read the page in 'normal' mode.

I buy a Times on Saturday. It takes me most of the week to read that. CAMC, NT, EH magazines trail behind until I have a dental or docs appointment. As for a book, I took one on a recent cruise and didn't even get around to opening it. Should I go on a 'speed reading' course?

I can’t imagine not having a book on the go. I take my kindle everywhere.

What a top tip. Just downloaded PressReader from our local library. All the national papers plus MMM and others. Not as easy to read as the printed version but still gives me the paper free when I want it.

Another vote for PressReader. Free, easy too use, automatically loads copies each week/month, and nearly all newspapers and magazines are available. Wouldn't be without it.

 

[PlymBob]

Plymouth Libraries have just discontinued Libby and replaced it with a vastly inferior product called BorrowBox.
BorrowBox does not have MMM, or The Week, or many other titles. Print does not reformat for easy reading on a smartphone. Neither does it seem to work in Windows. Clearly a cost cutting exercise. Doesn't matter about the Council Tax payers who fund the service, or the poor who need the service. So long as they can keep staff levels up with decent salaries and pensions. Don't want to cut staff levels when you reduce the service instead.

 

[SpeedyDux]

There is so much touring and technical content that has been covered previously by MMM. For reference purposes I have a collection (incomplete) that goes back to 2009. Gives ideas and tips for new trips. Looking at the fabulous photos taken in summer helps chase away the winter blues.

I still have the launch issue of Practical Motorhome. Perhaps the best issue of the whole series. Quite a collector's item!

You read the first chapter, the first and last pages only of succeeding chapters until the last, which you read in full.
Either that or ask ChatGPT to write you a 500 word synopsis.

 

[TheMachMan]

I found the digital subscription good, but after about 3 years got a bit bored with the format. Especially as all the van reviews are shown on YouTube prior to publishing so pointless reading as well! The trips are interesting and helped give us pointers when we started touring more.

Our $102 (approx. £50) annual subscription to the NZ Motor Caravan Association includes a bi-monthly magazine which is a very good read. Admittedly, there are a lot of advertisements and advertorials but it's also a good way of keeping up-to-date with what the Club is doing, where new camping parks are opening, fault reports on various vans and caravans, maintenance tips, new legislation, and even the classified ads and reader's letters are interesting.
Do the UK camping clubs provide magazines for members?

 

[stewartwebr]

MMM, that’s a blast from the past. Remember actually getting excited buying my monthly edition from John Menzies. Must be about 10 years since I last bought it. At the time it was the fountain of knowledge for all things motorhomes. Amazing how the internet has changed so much of our lives.

Yes, both of them monthly (mostly).

Although one of the Caravan Club's this year was a weedy half size thing with virtually no content.

OK for free but I wouldn't pay for them.
