CAMC magazine. Maybe I'm alone in thinking this

Yes totally agree 👍

Been discussed loads of time, generally with the same conclusion, the advertisements fund a the publication.  I did notice this month there were only a couple of independent flyers enclosed.  Buy any magazine on any subject and they are all full of adverts so the club is not doing anything unusual  

Some people are interested in food and insects, you know the old adage of you can't please all the people all the time etc..

niccho77 - no, it is not just you who is disappointed but any criticism of the Club and its products is soon removed from these forums.

I'll keep my own counsel to avoid the content being removed.

K&M, I don’t know what causes you to think that as loads of threads on this forum are critical of the club one way or another. The comments that are removed are because they breach the guidelines or are off topic. 

Yes, the magazine isn’t up to much but, as I pointed out recently, it’s simple to opt out of receiving it via the options in one’s profile. 

I would be interested to know what other caravan magazines you read that are not full of adverts? I suspect they are pretty rare on the ground. As has been pointed out those advertisements are there to pay for the production and distribution of the magazine. Now I suppose we could have no adverts but I suspect we would have to accept a higher membership fee to pay for it. I reckon that would be unacceptable to the majority?

I do agree that as probably all magazines who do LV "tests?"if the write up is to critical then the Manufacturers will not supply vehicles for the magazine to be "advertised"

Over the years we have seen numerous LVs being tested on sites both "live in?"and just a day(couple of hours) tests ,the last one we saw was at FM and being nosy had a look before the  testers arrived,noting several "design?" problems,so we spoke to the" testing team?"and they agreed with some of what we pointed out,but noted when reading the test in a magazine that  the "problems" were glossed over,as we had mentioned that the LV was not user friendly and did not think it would be as popular as what the "revamp" was replacing,

We noted that the manufacturer has now introduced a new model which when we looked at it on a dealers forecourt it was the pre revamp under a new namet 

Ps there is not an exterior socket for solar panels on any pegasus that i know of

 .... or locked.

What does it matter if the magazine hasn't moved on for you? Is this the be all and end all of joining the club? Of starting caravaning again?

I personally would have thought that the state of the sites is of more importance to you? What would people rather have a better magazine or improvements on site?

The magazine pays it's own way I believe and I see it more of an add on than anything else. For me it doesn't really affect my club membership.
