Most Readable Travel/Caravan/4WD Mag ?

I read 4wd action from time to time

Hi Oldbaz,
I think the NRMA have a few magazines under their umbrella, if I remember right besides the "open road", there are ones on caravanning & RV's also classic cars.

Not sure about the publishing dates.

Caravan & Motor Home mag comes out on a monthly basis, has some good stories/reports in it, on occasions, on places to travel to.
Also has reports on caravans and M/Homes, interestingly though, have never read where they have slated a van, and we all know there are some bummers out there.
Cheers

I think you will be out of luck with the 4wd mag. IMO none of them are worth much any more. The articles are basically adds for products advertised in the mag. I have a look to see if they have mended there ways every now and again. I'm still waiting.

hi oldbaz
imho caravan world is a reasonable mag cover caravans /motorhomes/outdoor adventure/and new products
4x4 australia imho is an imformative mag for that category

but there is a huge range of 4wd mags and i have read them all ,over a period of many years

i find they pretty well criss/x on topics past and future and do a lot of re- runs across the same areas
just change the wording a bit to make it sound a bit different story eg (ron moon and 4x4 aust) is notorious for that
they keep going over the same formular year after year just like a current affairs does on the idiot box and hope that no one notices or remembers
for what it;s worth cheers

Hi, Always read "4 X 4 Australia", good all round magazine , lots of touring articles as well as the usual add ones.
Cheers Des.

I have given up on buying any of them; too many $$$ for too many ads and bugger all else. Ocassionally pick up 4x4 mag to read on the plane when travelling,
regards

For me Overlander is the best Ozi 4x4 magazine of a bad bunch. While it has the usual adds bias it does give a broad coverage of competition, touring, clubs & equipment reviews.
For quality reading the "Outback" magazine has some great destinations & stories on people but not 4x4 based.
Cheers Craig........

It doesnt really matter what people think of these mags, what your after is mags that will sell. 4x4 action is the top selling 4x4 book, and now produces a few other travelling related mags also. Including i think a camper trailer one, camping with 4wd mag and also the caravan and motorhome on tour mag. All the same company and all are very large sellers. Have a look at them all, i think they can be found here at magstore.

No affiliation or whatever. I read most of them, and believe what i want to believe. Get some good subscription deals also with these lot.

Good evening Old Baz

All i do is go into the news agent over the road at Eaton Fair and have a look at the crap on the stand's.......read one or two....then leave....i go back home and open E,Oz and get all the info you need for a trip,also a lot of good stories from the blogs, and a lot of laughs.when you wanto ask a question....You get a lot of good answer's, from a lot of different members, also someone will help you out to fix a problem, if you have one,or they will tell you where to go to get it fixed, or find the part...........You cant get that out of the crap magazines on the shelf in the news agents. ExplorOZ is the place to be.See if you can get the Library to sign up to Exploroz and then who ever want's some info can be directed to the site,lot cheaper than wasting the Money on crap magazines.....And when it's time to turn off the box.............I still have my money.

Cheers for now...WilliamH...Bunbury...WA.

There is not much to choose between any of these magazines and they go up and down over time as writers or policies change. However your wife is looking for magazines to put in a library for the benefit of people who can't or won't pay regularly for them.
We suggest youconsider suggestions here and talk to a good newsagent about what is popular in your general area. Perhaps ask library customers to nominate favourites. She will want to know that people will want to borrow which ever ones the library subscribes to. A subscription can be changed after a year or two if any one turns out to be a real dud.
We are actually happy to borrow any of them from our library. Most have something interesting in them even if the whole magazine is not worth the price to us! John and Lynne

I was going to say "On The Road"...

I have browsed a mag in the newsagents that is a bit of an advert for RM Williams gear but has interesting looking articles about country towns, places and people. Can't remember the title I'm afraid, but it's the sort of thing that would suit a library... something you'd like to read but not willing to buy yourself!
