Road Trip! Magazine: An Energetic and Fresh Perspective
By Robert Henderson, www.RV.blogs.com

ROAD TRIP! MAGAZINE is a relatively recent
addition to the ranks of magazines for outdoor and
recreational vehicle enthusiasts, founded by a
former Yosemite Park Ranger and her artisan
husband – fanatic tent campers turned avid RVers.

“My love affair with the open road really started
when I was a kid,” says publisher/editor Sequoia
Hamilton. “Every summer we’d travel Route 66 from
LA to Branson to visit family and friends. We would
just show up and then pop up.”
(referring to her family’s
pull-behind pop-up trailer)

And so it seems ROAD TRIP! MAGAZINE has suddenly
shown up and popped up – almost out of nowhere.
An intelligent, lively and visually stunning
publication,
ROAD TRIP! MAGAZINE’s heartbeat is
the “Fresh from the Road” series of articles written
by road travelers – including the founders who
conduct business out of their remodeled and ultra-
hip ’76 Revcon motorhome.

ROAD TRIP! MAGAZINE boasts an impressive line up
too. Contributors include a former editor of
Forbes, staff reporter for CNN, a travel writer for
National Geographic Adventure and a photographer whose images have received worldwide
acclaim for clients such as Disney and Saturn. “The magazine is an amazing mosaic of stories
and images. People just seemed to come out of the woodwork wanting to help,” said Ben
Powell, co-publisher of the magazine, “it’s been quite a thrill ride!”

From Internet-savvy articles (How to Create your own Travel Blog), breath-taking images
(vintage photos of Airstream trailers at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt) to its interactive columns
(detachable “pay it forward” acts of kindness cards) – this freshmen publication
gets an A+ grade for credible content, style and engagement.

Whether you are a veteran of the open road, weekend escapist, family with kids or sports
buff using an RV for your next tail-gating party,
ROAD TRIP! MAGAZINE has something for
everyone. An energetic and fresh perspective to the myriad of more traditional or ‘old
school’ RV and vehicle publications,
ROAD TRIP! MAGAZINE is by far the most exciting and
visually-appealing road travel publication on the market today.

Launching simultaneously at east coast and west coast RV shows in late January,
ROAD
TRIP! MAGAZINE
is sure to generate buzz amongst the RV industry and the more than
200,000 snowbirds who flock to these annual RV shows each year.

The magazine is published 6 times a year, printed on glossy magazine stock with full-color
images, and is priced at $28/year. Single copy price is $5.99, back issues are $9.
