Remco seems to only have lists up to 2019.
FMCA'a Family Living magazine publishes a complete list once a year, in both hard print and online.

What happened was, they had already pre-arranged and pre-paid for their 2 major RV rallies this year. Then the pandemic hit and the nation was closed down. The pre-paid $700,000 monies were non-refundable. That is a tough blow for a non-profit company, however the company is slowly recovering, and gaining new partnerships with major MH mfgrs.

I stopped reading/subscribing to RV pubs several years ago as their info was becoming really minimal. Then there is what I considered bogus - never a product review that wasn't done in glowing terms. Maybe they suffered from a Marcus syndrome. I also didn't renew my Good Sam membership this year. Going to miss their daily trash bird cage/cat pan liner mailings - not!

Word has it that they are bringing out two new magazines, but I think it will be just more ads for CW and Gander.

They lost track of who they serve long ago.

More info....https://www.rvtravel.com/good-sam-changes/

When wondering about that I start by looking at the Blue Ox and Roadmaster websites to see for which vehicles they make baseplates. Then I check the owner's manuals of vehicles listed in which I'm interested.

Thumbs down Lady's Home RV Journal!

I just finished with the 'Premier First Edition' of the new RV magazine! What a waste!! Nothing technical in the entire mag. A few articles on 'where to go'. And the rest was filled with putting so much cutsey stuff into your rig that it would take half an hour to put it all away so you could drive to the dump station! And then there are the articles about how this woman, or that woman travels around in her RV all by herself with her dog. Yes, I miss Motorhome and probably won't renew. Enjoy yourself, Marcus!!

Looks like RV.com is about $17 yr. Automatically renews until you cancel.

Seems to cover similar discussions as free blogs on the internet.

Fluff pieces as to accessories you need, cooking, etc.

Not sure it will appeal to hard core campers, but mostly focused on newer owners.

Thumbs down so far...

I'll give it another issue (or until my subscription runs out) but my experience with the first issue of RV Magazine was mostly negative. Lots of unused page area, too much fluff, and none of the good info that I had come to appreciate with Motorhome. The attention to food, beer, personalities, and gadgetry is fine, but why is that now considered so important? Where is the "Tech Savvy" repair and maintenance advice? I can see that the warranty issues rescue page would be axed. After considering the frequent issues of warranty subscribers, readers might realize that these expensive contracts might not be worth the paper they are written on. Maybe I ignored some of what was offered, but sometimes I did find it useful. I watched the mag shrink from a reasonable size to a bare skeleton. Too many big ads, "throw money at the problem" solutions (of course at CW), and too much focus on high end coaches led to my disappointment. There is so much of substance and interest to RVers to write about and include. It ain't there within the pages of the new magazine. I really would rather have information instead of inspiration. Marcus, I am not happy.
