Welcome back. This is the latest issue of Lifestyles Online – the online home of Lifestyles Magazine. If this is your first visit to this site, settle back in your chair and browse through our feature offerings. We’re getting more new visitors with every issue. And like our corporate and brand division websites, Lifestyles Online has recently been restructured, redesigned and relaunched, and proudly serves its largest online readership to date.

In this issue, we’re highlighting our test/review of the new 2002 Knight motorhome. “One Cool Knight” is a comprehensive road test and review of the 2002 Knight, one of Monaco’s most popular diesel brand class A motorhomes. With “A Consumer Guide to Tow Vehicle (Dinghy) Equipment,” we review the variety of hardware and accessories available to dinghy-towing enthusiasts. With “Washer/Dryer Combos 101,” we offer a general guide to the operation, care and maintenance of your coach’s washer/dryer combo. There’s also a ste-by-step do-it-yourself article for servicing your Monaco’s Allison transmission titled, “Weekend Project: Transmission Service.” And finally, with “The National Parks of Canada,” you get a park by park visitor’s guide to the National Park System of our northern neighbor.

As always, I want to encourage all site visitors to e-mail myself (rpuckett@monacohr.com) or Webmaster Steve Barth (sbarth@monacohr.com), and give us your impressions of Lifestyles Online. How can we make it easier for you to use and navigate? How can we make it more compatible to its print version—Lifestyles 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.
