A new RV magazine geared toward consumers and focused on repairing and maintaining RVs is set to debut in early 2021. RV Enthusiast is a new monthly digital publication that will help subscribers perform regular maintenance, handle unforeseen repairs and add reasonable upgrades to their coach.
Owned and staffed by some of the most recognized and experienced RV journalists in North America, RV Enthusiast was created to fill the need for accurate technical advice to help enthusiasts keep their RVs in top condition.
“With existing RV magazines and online sources gravitating more to lifestyle coverage, we realized there is a huge demand for detailed and factual technical information,” said Bob Livingston, formerly a longtime technical writer and publisher of Trailer Life (TL) and MotorHome (MH) magazines, who will serve as publisher of the brand-new publication. “Couple that with the surge in RV sales due to the coronavirus and the difficulty to schedule appointments at times with booked-up dealer service departments, and we saw a need to provide current and future owners with a resource for knowledge to help make reasonable repairs and understand the inner workings of RVs.”
While RV Enthusiast will focus on the nuts-and-bolts side of RV ownership — including tow and dinghy vehicles — the publication also will provide coverage of new RVs and products, reviews, projects, industry news, feature articles and tips from industry pros.
Through unique arrangements with certain RV manufacturers and dealers,
RV Enthusiast will initially be sent free of charge to more than one million current and future RV owners. It also will be promoted on various social media sites. The first issue will be released in February 2021.
The staff of RV Enthusiast is:
Bob Livingston, publisher
Bruce Hampson, editor
Chris Dougherty, technical director
Chris Hemer, technical editor
Sue Seidlitz, advertising director
Jim Mac, social media director
