Couple Launches RV Related Magazines

You've got to hand it to a couple who've decided to publish their own magazine: It takes a lot of guts and hard work. And then, after a couple of months of hiring out the printing, they decide to do the work in-house: They lease a huge digital press and (lacking a sufficient elevator to bring it to the second floor press room) move it into their building through a window.

That's the life of would-be publishers Frank and Kaeth Gauthier. A few months ago the Gautheirs noticed there was no official publication for folks who lived in (or dreamed of living) in a park model home. Frank had past experience with the lifestyle, so along with his relatively new wife, set out to publish a magazine to fill the slot. This September they'll try it again, this time publishing a magazine, Fifth Wheel Living.

While the Gautheirs' first "baby," does have an active website, the new upstart has yet to garner any .com entry of its own. We'd hoped to be able to get a feel for the style and content of the Gautheirs' first venture by visiting their website. Unfortunately, there's a shortage of content on the site. We'll update you about the new magazine when it becomes available. Meanwhile, visit the Arkon, Ohio, Beacon Journal for the full story on the couple's venture.
