Heading out on the road no longer has to be limited by what you can fit in your back seat. Instead, you have the opportunity to bring along your ATV, golf cart, or other oversized objects without worrying about damaging your tailgate. Blue Ox realizes that you want to maximize your fun while in the outdoors without breaking anything in the process. That's why we're introducing the TailGator.
The TailGator provides the needed protection to safely load and unload ATV's, golf carts, and oversized objects into your truck bed. It was built to prevent damage and add support for the tailgate cables from undue stress.
It pins directly into any standard 2" receiver, completely omitting the additional strain on the tailgate. And with a load capacity of 1,000 pounds, the possibilities are endless. For more information on the TailGator and their complete line of towing and hitch systems contact Blue Ox, One Mill Road, Industrial Park, Pender, NE 68047; phone 402-385-3051; fax 402-385-3360; email info@blueox.com; website www.blueox.com

Thetford Corporation, the company that introduced the original Porta Potti® in 1968, will preview the next generation of stylish and comfortable portable toilets at the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association Conference (RVIA) 2011. From the brand new Curve to the Porta Potti 320, Thetford's entire Porta Potti offering has been revamped.

A raised seat height and increased bowl size create a more comfortable and relaxed sitting position. Controls are hidden to keep them in safe, working order and maintain a smooth appearance. An integrated toilet paper holder ensures the ultimate in convenience. Fresh and waste water tanks can be easily monitored with a simple check of the easy-to-read level indicators.

In addition to the brand new Curve, Thetford's entire Porta Potti offering has been revamped. The line now features a refreshed, modern appearance with a cleaner cover and seat design. A more ergonomic carrying handle simplifies transportation and a now standard lid latch prevents any accidental spillage. All models also offer a redesigned valve handle, fill cap and pump.
While Thetford is dedicated to innovation, the company knows when to stick with ideas and products that work. Along with the new features the Porta Potti range still provides the same industry-leading performance. Fresh and waste water tank sizes remain unchanged and the toilets continue to feature an exclusive, rotating pour-out spout. A deodorant sample is included with every Porta Potti, as usual.

| Take More Stuff Along with Ultra-Fab's New Cargo Carriers |
|
|
 |
| Ultra Cargo Carrier (Mfg. No. 48-979029) |
ELKHART, Ind.--In George Carlin's hilarious standup routine about the importance of "stuff" in our lives, he noted, "Sometimes you leave your house to go on vacation. And you gotta take some of your stuff with you." ( George Carlin Talks About "Stuff" )
It's a dilemma most of us have had to face: What stuff to take along and what stuff to leave behind. RVers have an advantage here because they get to take more stuff. But even with all that storage, often they would still like to take more stuff along.
And that's where Ultra-Fab Products new line of cargo carriers comes to the rescue.
Ultra-Fab's families of cargo carrier products are designed to let you take more stuff along on your outdoor adventures, camping trips, or simply visits to Grandma's house.
Ultra Cargo Carrier (Mfg. No. 48-979029) makes it possible to add an additional 500 pounds of cargo. Its rugged steel construction and powder coated finish will provide years of durability, Measuring 19.25-inch by 60-inch the metal mesh platform, which eliminates standing water, provides approximately 8 square feet of surface area. Ultra Cargo Carrier is lightweight (only 36 lbs.) for easy mounting and fits 2-inch receiver hitch.
Need more capacity? Then move up to the Ultra XL-Cargo Carrier (Mfg. No. 48-979025). It has all the features of the Ultra Cargo Carrier but provides nearly 10 sq. ft. surface (23.25-inch by 60-inch) and weighs just 39 lbs..
With the addition of Ultra-Fab's Bike Rack Accessory (Mfg. No. 48-979030) you can take along up to three bicycles. It installs easily in just minutes to the cargo carrier and comes with convenient tie-down strap.
Like the cargo carriers, the bike rack accessory features a powder coated finish with rugged steel construction.
If the stuff you want to take along includes a more robust bike such as your motorcycle, then the Ultra MX Motorcycle Carrier (Mfg. No. 48-979033) is essential.
The motorcycle carrier securely holds your motorcycle for transport or making repairs. The included ramp works on either side of the carrier. It bolts together for easy assembly and has a 500 lbs.. load capacity. Like Ultra-Fab's other cargo carriers, the motorcycle carrier is constructed of heavy duty steel with a powder-coated finish and mounts in standard 2-inch receivers.
So if your problem is that you want to take more of your stuff along, Ultra-Fab Products' new line of cargo carriers is an excellent solution.
Ultra-Fab's cargo carriers all come with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
Ultra-Fab's New Weight Distributing Hitch and Combo Kits are available at most RV dealerships and RV parts and accessories stores. To locate a dealer near you, visit http://www.ultra-fab.com/find_dealer.cfm

Bringing fresh air in an RV cabin and sending out musty air and odors is easy with a MaxxFan Deluxe from MaxxAir Vent Corporation. This unique, patented ventilation system protects an RV's interior in any weather, while helping keep a cool and comfortable indoor environment.
Fitting standard 14" x 14" roof openings, the MaxxFan Deluxe provides over 900 cu. ft. of air per minute. It features a powerful, 12V fan motor and 12" diameter, 10-blade fan.
