New Product Reduces Blunt Trauma To the Head

Here is Camco’s latest addition to making RVing safer. These slide-out corner protectors are designed to stick to your slide-outs. The rubberized cushion won’t prevent you or the kids from “bonking” their heads, but it will cushion the blow. I’ve bumped into my slide-out corners numerous times and let me tell you that it doesn’t feel good! These protectors will definitely help, especially on the bedroom slide-out on 5th wheels. Look for them wherever Camco products are sold or order them online here: Camco Products

Want To Be Knotty?

Have trouble tying and untying knots? If you are all thumbs like me you will appreciate the Figure 9. It eliminates the need for tying or untying or adjusting knots. You can see from the picture how this device holds the rope secure. You can use these to tie down stuff on your RV ladder, hold your awning ropes taught or secure a load just about anywhere. The company is Nite Ize and they make two sizes. The small size is for 1/16 to 3/16-inch ropes and the large size is for 1/8 up to 3/8-inch ropes. They are made out of strong aluminum so they are very light. Most of all they are cheap $2.99 for a pair of the large size and $1.99 for a pair of the small size. You can find them at REI, hunting and fishing shops or online at Figure 9 .

Hydralift RV Motorcycle Lift

“Whoever said you can’t take it with you didn’t have a Hydralift motorcycle lift.” Now that is saying something! Meet Brad Michaels the sharp manufacturer rep for Hydralift. Brad was showing off this one of a kind hydraulic motorcycle, golf cart, snowmobile, ATV 4 wheeler and just about anything lift. The things that make this lift unique is that it is the ONLY hydraulic lift. It has an automatic locking system where the locking arms automatically drop down onto 1” solid steel pins when in the travel position. Automatic means that you don’t have to manually insert pins or bolts. Now that is nice since I usually forget where I laid my truck keys let alone where I left the locking bolts. This is also the highest lift, meaning that you don’t have to worry about dragging on steep curbed entrances to gas stations or driveways.

One of the absolute best features of this unit is that your towed vehicle is towed from the frame of your RV and not from the lift without the use of lengthy extensions. Don’t strain your back trying to load your ride, just roll it on from ground level by yourself and when you get to where you are going, roll it off by yourself. Easy! Visit the Hydralift website at http://www.hydralift-usa.com/ or give Brad a call at (949)559-5372. Brad would love to talk to you about this system and recommend a dealer where you can have one installed.
