We know this newsletter (our Sunday news newsletter) can get pretty long. It’s hard to believe that week after week there’s this much news about RVing and camping, but there is! It’s fun for us to put together this newsletter, and it’s nice to be up-to-date on everything going on within the industry and community. We hope you enjoy reading it!
On average, how much of this newsletter do you typically read? Do you start at the top and read just about 100% of it? Or do you scroll past things that don’t interest you and end up reading about 75% of it? Or 50% of it? 25%? Just a few things here and there?
If you wouldn’t mind, after you vote, please leave a comment and tell us what you like and dislike most about this newsletter. We’re always trying to be better, so we appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you!
I love the Newsletter and read about 95 percent of it. I generally skip news about new trucks being produced since we are not in the market for one.
I also skip Dave’s section (sorry Dave!) because I don’t get involved in repairing the RV.
i think you do a terrific job producing the Newsletter every single day!!
First thing I fire up on my computer in the mornings. I open up, set down with my first cup of coffee and start reading, top to bottom.
You bet!
Me too. But not everything. Check out all the headlines; read about 50%.
I read almost all of the newsletter until I get to the click here to continue reading link that’s when I decide if it’s interesting enough to bother with.
I put 75% because I scroll through everything, read the headline and read more if the article interests me. Thanks so much for the news and info.
Agreed.
When I first subscribed to RVTravel I read each and every article. But that was when I had the time, Now that I’m retired who has that kind of time ! LOL.
Howdy;
I generally scan over the headlines and will read items that pique my interest. Some days might be this and other days something else. No rhyme or reason.
Really appreciate the work you do. I especially like the format that allows for a summary then option to read more. Makes it easy to dip in and out of articles and actually get the bulk of the news in a concise and organized manner. Plus links to earlier articles and issues are very helpful. Thanks again.
Read most of the newsletter except for pet related news. Nothing wrong with pets just not a pet owner.
I read it every day, beginning to end! Love the format and, as others have said, might not always read the entire article!you guys do a great job and all of the articles are very informative.
I generally start out reading articles that seem of interest to me but then keep reading more of the news. It is long and I would like it not to get any longer if that is possible. There does seem to be more and more news that affects RV’rs.
Generally quick scan only actually reading things of direct interest. Articles I do read I always read the comments. When I get to the end of the newsletter I check the comments to see if I missed something. Many times finding good information in the comments
I’m just getting back into it. I stopped reading it when it was decided to sending it out at noon for the non-supporting readers. I would read it in the morning with my coffee but by noon I was onto other things. Now that it’s in my In-box when I wake up I’ll try to get back into it.
Why be a “non-supporting reader”? Do you not get at least $10 worth of information each year? If not, ask yourself why you waste your time reading it.
I read it but I then make the mistake of reading the comments which often infuriate me and make me realise that ‘these are not my people’. I don’t need that and am thinking about unsubscribing.
Don’t read the comments! Why punish RV Travel. If I start reading the comments and they are rude or lots of negativity I move to the next article. I’ve learned to do that with Twitter -:)
I read all the comments, along with the rest of the newsletter, basically to see what kind of world I am living in. It scares me a bit. Are we really more divided than we were during the war in Vietnam? I came home to the 1968 Chicago riots. Do we never become tolerant of other’s opinions? I don’t want to fight England again in order to become a united nation.
75% I skip over the reciepe part just not interest and some articles that just not interested in. But the value and reminders I find are helpful like gun laws, campground opening closing. And the big wait on what is going on in the manufacturing world of RVs to name a few.
Reading both the Saturday and Sunday editions has become a weekend morning tradition. I love to share interesting and funny bits with my husband who is usually reading the newspaper. The News Brief and Today in History are my favorite parts of the Sunday newsletter.
Thank you for putting so much time and energy into keeping us informed and entertained.
I really enjoy your newsletter. I don’t read all of it. Often topics are redundant. I am a boondocker and campground stories don’t interest me.
Sometimes I skim it, but always return to read everything except the truck news. We have a DP and tow a Jeep, so truck news is of no interest to me. But, I know several who tow a trailer and care deeply about truck news. I have no qualms at all about your inclusion of it.
Don’t change a thing, please!
Not sure how useful this poll will be for the editors. One can assume that most of the responses came from people who read 50% or more in order to get to the location of the poll.
Interesting. You are probably correct.
Some articles are of no interest but I find myself reading them anyway. My best guess is that 60-75 percent of the subjects are very read worthy for me.
i scan more than read every word. some of it doesn’t pertain to us and how we travel.
I enjoy all parts of the newsletter. There is always something new to learn somewhere in the letter.
We no longer have our RV so I skip some of the electrical/maintenance stuff I used to always read. But I still have friends with RVs so I’m always scanning those articles for information to share with them. Even though our rig is gone, I miss the lifestyle very much so I continue reading RVTravel so I don’t totally lose touch.
Well…The Sunday one – I’m almost at the end of this one after 4 or 4 1/2 hours today. I think I read every word.
I read probably 98%, a lot of the items that I’ll never use such as news items about pending campgrounds 3000 miles away that I’ll never get to I don’t read. At 79 years young I’ll not be traveling that far.
I scroll through all of the articles, but only read the ones that pique my interest.
Ok, sue me. I only read about 25%. BUT, I greatly enjoy what I DO read. That’s the best thing about it, something for everyone. I don’t really care Ford is working on another e-truck, but without actually reading about I know it’s in the works. Oops, I accidentally got enlightened. Don’t change nothin’.
After 6 years full time RVing I have learned so very much from rvtravel and I’m still learning but I can now scan through to find the nuggets.
I don’t read the truck/towables section because we have a Class A Motorhome. I do read most of the rest. Thanks for consolidating and sharing such valuable info.
I read most of it when I have time. I will scan and determine what is of interest. Of course I find some to be a little hard to buy but we all have our own ideas – Thanks and keep it up!
Used to read every article in this edition and the daily newsletter also. Just got to be to much info to scan through. Now in that 25-40% range on things of interest. Just signed on with BoonDockers Welcome. Thanks to RV Travel. Longtime reader.
