Airstream Life Magazine - Yes or No?

[forfulltimin]

A great high end glossy ode to Airstreams and their impact on art, life style, food, history, design and travel.
Not a 'how to' but a 'why to' mag. Have been there from the start, Rich used to live in Vermont.

Like it - we got the subscription as a gift from my son; competes for time and attention like other things, but it is well done.

It is a nice magazine with well written articles. It is slanted more toward newer A/S's than vintage but there are good vintage articles as well.

You might consider joining the Wally Byam Airstream Club aka WBCCI for $95 per year. Membership includes the Blue Beret magazine which has rally, travel and technical information. You do not have to join a local club to be a member at large.

If you are interested in vintage Airstreams, the WBAC has the Vintage intra club for another $20 which gets you a quarterly Vintage magazine and taps you into all the vintage activities around the US and a wealth of technical info.

I wish it was a monthly! Can't wait to get it then read it cover to cover in one day then have to wait what seems like forever for the next edition! Buy it, you'll like it.

I have the first two+ years. Liked it OK but finally decided I wasn't getting good value for the investment. YMMV.

[Two Peas]

Yes.

[banderabob]

I'm a yes.

You did not mention if you were becoming a first time RV owner. If so, then this information source might be valuable to you:

Yes! I love reading the forum but it was Airstream Life mag that has the excellent photos and interesting Airstream trailer projects. Well done Rich!

[russingr]

I like it. We have subscribed for years.

Just got latest copy. I'm looking at that retrofit kit for the awning. Pretty $$$ though. Anyway magazine is a good way to keep up.

All new Airstream trailers come with the Newbies Guide in the owner's bag of manuals. If you get a new Airstream, probably a better, non-duplicating purchase would be the Nearly Complete Guide to Airstream Maintenance.

Have been a subscriber since day 1 and always enjoy reading the articles. The quality of the paper is excellent. I am hesitating on renewing given we Canadians have to pay 35% more than our American Brothers and Sisters. Would love to see a reduction in the cost. For a new owner a great magazine, for the long time owner not as much.

Great quality magazine (compared to the beret) ...excellent photos ...little technical info ...

I know you're referring to the 35% exchange rate, but it's actually the only US magazine I know of that is delivered to Canadian addresses for the same as to US addresses, so I consider it to be a good deal.

Yes.

First year subscription came automatically with the purchase of our Bambi, so if you buy a new AS wait awhile before subscribing to avoid duplication. We didn't renew but probably would have if it was a bi-monthly or monthly. Four issues/yr just didn't seem worth it to us.
