Title: PUP Magazine
Post by: S1062DSl on Jun 03, 2008, 08:23 PM
I was wondering what others had to say about the magazine. I like the idea behind it , but I don't like waiting 3 months and then getting a magazine that only has 30 pages. I would like to see more articles (Tech write-ups , travel stories , maybe readers pictures , even a readers PUP featured along with a write-up. I wish I had the ability to do a magazine like this as I have lots of ideas.I would like the magazine to go monthly. Please do not get me wrong , I love the fact that there is a magazine just for PUPs. So let me know what you think !!!

I love the magazine and agree it would be great to get it more often.  However, I have no idea what the level of subscription is and the cost involved in producing it on a more frequent basis.

I did solve the problem of having to wait a long time between editons by buying back copies off EBay... And so I'm currently in PUP Magazine heaven.  See my blog dated 05/25/08 (http://www.campercommunity.com/blogs/he_ruide).

I agree, I like the magazine and wish it were mine too. Let's ask Dave if he wants to sell it and then run it our way. :cool:

For years we struggled to put out 6 issues per year, it was tough to get enough advertising to pay the way. Now we're doing 4 issues per year and you can see it's still not stuffed with ads. We've had a lot of great articles over the years and always look for more, so if you want to get published ...

 I will submit some stories as I will do anything I can do to contribute . I'm amazed that there are not more advertisments , you would think there would be tons of PUP companies knocking on your door. I look at other Camper magazines and they have lots of ads , I wonder if its just because we have PUP's and not 5th wheels or A's and C's. Well anyway , look for some neat stuff from me.

How long has the magazine been published?  I just discovered it about a year or so ago, and I'm happy to subscribe, but I'm just wondering when it started.  Thanks.

My wife and I both enjoy the magazine, and look forward to each issue.

We have had ideas for articles, but have not yet found time to write and submit them.  

Keep up the good work, Dave!  :D

I just ordered my 1st yearly subscription today. I cannot wait for it to arrive. I also order the last issue due to it having wiring info in it.

Their website says that issue v10#1 is sold out. Maybe it'll show up on their homepage's back issues.

I really like the PDF back issues on the site. Ever consider skipping the printing and offering a PDF subscription base? Save a tree, lower administration costs, etc. Most of our magazines end up as firestarters in the end!

Hey, I need the firestarters for my charcoal chimney!  LOL
