Better magazine - Motorhome or FMCA
My Motorhome mag subscription is running out. Not a member of FMCA but could be.
Who has the better magazine? Don't care about recipes or rallys. More interested in how to's, helpful hints, new products, and reviews.

MH Mag used to be better as far as Tech info.! NOW they both seem to have same amount of content except Of course, FMCA is an association, has its club info etc.

As for the magazines, I would say that Motorhome has more of the articles you mentioned, but membership in FMCA is well worth the money!

I have both and read both.
I think the RV reviews are a bit better in the FMCA magazine.
The FMCA does seem to have alot of club info, as was mentioned above.

Motorhome magazine is a magazine, nothing more. FMCA is an association which provides many valuable membership benefits, one of which is a magazine.

For me, a long time FMCA member the FMCA magazine has more of what I want, plus there are the tire buying program and medical emergency evacuation plan. I've used the tire plan and save $1,000 with it so my dues are paid for years now.

I subscribe to both. Have you ever noticed that anything recommended in Motorhome magazine is sold by CW? Maybe that's because Motorhome magazine is owned by CW?

BTW ... You can subscribe to the FMCA magazine without joining the organization. Good to know if you don't own a motorhome yet, but want to learn about them. Same with FMCA's forum.

The very best is the Escapees magazine. Great articles written by RVers.
