Letter from the Editor
by Randy Puckett
Welcome to the latest issue of Holidays Online — the online home of Holidays Magazine. If this is your first visit to this site, settle back in your chair and browse through our feature offerings. You’re sure to find something of use or of interest. We’re getting more and more new visitors with every issue. And like our corporate and divisional sites, Holidays Online has been restructured, redesigned and relaunched, and proudly serves its largest online readership to date.
Holidays Online still offers full text versions of all product test reviews, as well as many of the travel and technical features you’ll find in Holiday Rambler’s owner publication, Holidays Magazine. This web format is ideal for offering its visitors not only text and images from Holidays Magazine articles, but elements you won’t find in its print sibling, such as extensive floorplans and interiors, additional specs and images, and more.
In this issue, we’re highlighting test reviews of the 2002 Atlantis Class C and the annual 2002 Towable Product Round-Up. "California Dreamin’" is a comprehensive road test and review of the all-new 2002 Atlantis, Holiday Rambler’s re-entry into the Class C market. We’re also including full text from our annual towable review, "What’s New In ’02," a complete review of Holiday Rambler’s entire towable product lineup, with new features, new floorplans, and a new model lineup for fifth wheels and travel trailers. There’s also our special feature,"The Royal Summit/Sport Utility Truck Body," a comprehensive look into Royal Truck Body, Inc., which brings to Chevy, GMC and Ford dealers a unique and innovative utility pickup truck body. Also, our classroom tech article, "Aqua-Hot Systems 101," features the ins and outs of the familiar name you’ve often heard of, but didn’t know much about.
As always, I want to encourage all visitors to this site to e-mail myself (rpuckett@monacohr.com) or Webmaster Steve Barth (sbarth@monacohr.com), and give us your impressions of Holidays Online. How can we make it easier for you to use and navigate? How can we make it more compatible to its print version–Holidays Magazine–to better serve your needs? What would you like to see more of? Less of? We’re always open to your questions, comments and suggestions.
