You can now place your ad in our classified ad section on line and in the magazine. Just go to our home page www.busconversions.com, click on the post ad button. Quick, easy and done! You can also place service directory ads etc. Lets start supporting the new and improved magazine with more ads from business and owners alike! And, of course, if you do not subscribe to the monthly printed magazine, do so now!

Did I say new and improved BCM, yes, new cover, new editors, new writers, new stories, more info, more ads, better graphics... lots of great things happening with the magazine, so look for the new cover on the Jan issue, its completely different... You will love it!!!

Thanks for what you do for our community Mike! Hey, I'm giving MAK thanks on Thanksgiving! Gotta mean something!

I'm not currently a subscriber, but have been in the past. And while I know it would be no simple task, I'll gladly sign up again if you can figure out how to supply me with an online version of the mag.

Mike, does this mean that the magazine is going back more like it was in 90s when it was a great magazine. i haven't subscribed in a couple of years because the articles were the same as the ones in 90s written by the same authors.I too would pay for a on line version of the magazine

mak

Online version?  Yes, we are bring back the old magazine with energy and passion. If we had a premium side to this website, that you could read the entire magazine and get other info, what would that be worth on a yearly bases? How many would sign up to pay for it? I still think you should subscribe to the printed one... just because it helps

Mike the reason i would like a on line version is because i use my bus about 7 months every year and it would be nice if you did not have to depend on our great postal system to get the magazine to you 4 months later.For the price of it i don't know i pay 43.00 a year for my newspaper on line.I will start subscribing again and will see you in May.P.S. the newspaper is Sunday only.one more thing Mike could you not tie the on line version together with the hard copy for a extra fee i would go for that

cody

Mike, I would certainly be interested in an online version of the magazine.

Postal Mail delivery - additional "Y" Dollars.

Works for me!

Some interesting notes and ideas. Maybe a choice, on line or snail mail or both. Pricing is going to be the debate as well. I hope to get more feedback and ideas.

Mike,

I echo Nick's wish that you and your familyhave a wonderfull Thanksgiving.

I also echo his suggestion.  I would pay an extra fee for the on-line version.

I think many would pay a fee to be able to call up "old issues" and the articles.  Sort through them for subjects etc.  Like to see this bundled and have the mag as the required first step....for the teams sake, now.


Happy holidays Amigo,

John

Hi yo silver

Mike,
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.  One of the things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving is the freedom to subscribe to whatever magazines I choose, and to participate on BB such as this one.  What a great learning resource and what great fellow busnuts!

I would be more than happy to put the old issues in searchable PDF archive format so that they could be sent to customers or set them up online for a small renumeration.  ;)

Putting the magazine online seems to be a popular move, Especially for those that full time and travel a lot.

I hope you have a great day and a better tomorrow!

Dallas, Cat and feline family!

I missed 5 issues this past summer and fall thanks to our postal system it would be nice if we could get it online and it ends up a lot of weight to carry in bus to be able to download as a pdf and have to search through would be great.

Lots of good ideas. We will offer an on line version soon along with some other cool online things to go with it. Going to be sharp. Next week we will have the new site plan,  I think you will all like it. We will be offering 3 to 5 minute podcast on buses, repairs, and campgrounds to name a few of the new fun things for the on line mag. So next time your own and about take a quick video of the campground for others to look at before they head that way.

I have been a subscriber since 1992, have attended all but one of the rallies (missed Biloxi >:() and have attended one of the great week long workshop presented by Tom Winterhalter.  I have written a couple of articles for the publication and been a vendor at the last few rallies.  Will be a vendor again next year if you ever get the application information published (hint hint  ;)).

With that said, I have to clearly state that I have gotten much more than my monies worth over the years (good and lean).  I truly hope that you are taking a giant step up in your publication.  More importantly, I hope the bus conversion community (with and without buses) step up and support you.

I strongly (!!!) urge you to do the online publication option.  Like others, we travel a lot and it kills me to have to wait to catch up until we get home.  Absolutely the best option would be to allow print subscribers to also select the online option for a reduced cost.

Dallas' suggestion to have reprints of magazines or articles on line (for a fee) is a great idea.  There are lots of folks just coming into the crazy world of bus conversions and they can benefit from all of the past published information.

Thanks again MAK!
