Lazydays RV (Tampa, FL & Tucson, AZ) publishes an elegant magazine called betterRVing, which includes a variety of articles about RVing. It typically has something for techies, tips for life on the road, destinations, RV activities, etc. And of course ads for a lot of slick RVs as well. It's available in digital or paper format and you can subscribe if you wish or just view on the www.betterrving.com website.
The Fall 2012 issue has an excellent, high level article on under the covers RV stuff with the lengthy title "What you need to know about what makes your RV go". Oriented towards newcomers to RVing, it gives an overview of chassis types (both motorhome and towables) and maintenance needs, plus some advice like 'why you need all those manuals'. Even those of us who think we already know a lot about RVs will probably find some interesting tidbits. One that caught my attention is a succinct description of the technical difference between a travel trailer and a fifth wheel: weight distribution. I knew that, but never thought of it in those terms and so had never been able to summarize it so well.
You can read the digital issue here, or request a paper copy.
