Nope.  Best bet is items on here.  You'll come across articles in things like the C&CCs Camping & Caravanning magazine.  They have some bits in, but not a lot.  They do usually review new products & will publish long term tests of units, including TTs & FCs.  They also have a Trailer Tent & Folding Camper Group who publish their own Silhouette magazine.  It however largely consists of "in jokes" & recipies for knitting wholewheat flapjack slippers.  There are the odd DIY bits in, but not a lot.  Most makes of camper have their own loyal following of owners clubs.  many of these publish a regular magazine.  The Dandy Owners Club publishes the Dandyman magazine.  Again, mostly rally reports & articles about ducks in fire buckets.  Your best sources of info will likely be on here & similar self help groups.  The Dandy Owners Yahoo Group has been a most helpful place to look for advice, I am sure Pennine, Trigano, & all the others have the same sort of help groups on the Web.

Good hunting.

Steve.

Camping magazone (as above) is usually stocked in our Smiths, it comes out about the 4th of the month, and sells out quickly, so be quick of the mark. It's not particularly indepth, but interesting enough. I'm with Steve McV, this site is probably you're best bet!

Have stopped buying Camping Magazine. There is just not enough content for the price - though some of the articles where they explore an area are not bad, but not good enough for the cost.

We subcribe to the Camping magizine as it's not always avalible in the shops. It does have some good bits in and yes sometimes there are some rubbish bits, but thats most magizines?

We like it. It has some good bits about sites throughout the Uk. You can always subscirbe and then cancel the next quarter if you dont like it.

Good luck

We subscribe to the Camping Magazine (got a free picnic set when we set up the subscription) and find it useful.

I've subscribed to Camping magazine since it first came out, and it's a lot better than it used to be. I find not many places actually stock it though - our local W H Smiths usually only gets one or two copies. It might be worth subscribing just to get the free offer - this month it's a multi-mat self-inflating mattress - you can always cancel if you don't like it.

We find it difficult to come across copies of the Camping Magazine in our local WH Smiths and end up hunting around for one.   I now think it would be a good idea to subscribe to it to save the hassle each month, as I don't like to miss a copy. 

We have also joined the Camping and Caravanning Club this year - IMHO it's worth the yearly subscription for the monthly magazine to be honest - there have been some good articles and news in it each month which I have enjoyed reading.
