THE MAILBOX
It’ s now been about four months since officially taking over PopUp Times. I don’ t mind saying that I’ ve been a little bit nervous. PopUp Times has been around for eleven years and has earned a strong following, so now it’ s my responsibility to deliver compelling content on a regular basis.
I would like to thank everyone for the encouraging emails and best wishes for success in this new venture. With your continued support, PopUp Times will thrive. I especially want to publicly thank Dave Newhouse for his generous work to help make this transition as smooth as possible. Dave, you are a great guy!
Since RVs share similar or identical equipment, most RV magazines will cover everything related to an RV at some point. While similar content can be found elsewhere, either in other magazines or web sites, PopUp times is uniquely positioned to reach owners and those shopping for pop-up campers and smaller RVs. Pop-up campers do have a few things that are not found in the other RVs, which gives our readers a unique perspective and focus.
Our goal is to provide content that will be both interesting and useful to pop-up camper or small RV owners. We are excited about articles we will be producing on a regular basis, such as camper reviews, destination and campground reviews, product reviews, modifications, and other technical related articles; as well as cooking related articles and reader stories. As with PopUp Explorer, we want the readers to share ideas on content or ways we can improve the magazine to make it the best product it can be. If you loved PopUp Times before, we hope you grow to love it even more. We want you to feel like this is your magazine. We are committed to bringing you the best content possible.
Some of the writers are already familiar to you. We are also introducing some new writers. We really want you to share your thoughts, especially if you think your idea would help make things better. If you like to write, send us something; if you’ re a good photographer, send us photos; let’ s see your work! Perhaps a story or great photo of yours can be used in a future edition. For those who contribute, we will try to give you a little something for your effort.
In closing, I just want to say ultimately our goal is to find ways to make PopUp Times even better. I hope you enjoy the new PopUp Times and thank you for your continued support.
Thank you and happy camping,
