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.

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.

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.

SANTA ANA, Calif. – ITT Flojet® (www.flojet.com), a leading manufacturer of small electric and air-operated pumps for the RV, Beverage, and Industrial markets, has just expanded its water dispensing product line with the addition of the Flojet Bottled Water System Plus. When a water bottle is connected to the system, fresh water is available for use with coffee machines, ice makers, water dispensers, or for any other application where portable potable water is needed. This system is up to 25% more energy efficient than other bottled water systems on the market; and, when dispensing water to a refrigerator, it eliminates the need for a water filter, preventing the disposal of over 300,000 filters each year.

The Bottled Water System Plus is also designed for convenience—the pump shuts off when the water source is depleted; and, when water is restored, the pump will automatically restart. This eliminates the chance of any damage to the pump and control box from running dry. This system is backed by the Flojet brand of electric diaphragm pump technology proven with more than 35 years of operational excellence and over seven million units in service.

The Bottled Water System Plus has a single water line that can easily be connected to most standard 3-5 gallon bottles; and, with Flojet’s exclusive quick connect port fittings, installation and replacement of suction and discharge tubing is fast and simple. Because the system utilizes clean demand pump, the pressure is automatically maintained in the discharge line feeding to the faucet or discharge valve. Its sealed vacuum keeps the water fresh and a built in check valve prevents back flow. The pump operates quietly and automatically turns on and off when the faucet is opened and closed.

The Flojet Bottled Water System Plus is available now at a suggested retail price starting at $149.99. Contact your local retailer or dealer for more information, or visit us at www.flojet.com.

Prepping an RV for the road after a season of storage can be simple with the right steps and the right products. Here are five tips from Thetford to ensure owners get the outside of their rigs road-ready.

First, RVers should clean the roof and remove grime. Thetford's Premium Rubber Roof Cleaner washes, conditions and protects in one step. The non-petroleum formula can be used on rubber, fiberglass and aluminum roofs to get rid of leaf and mildew stains and bird droppings.

Then, owners should clean their awnings. After removing stains and soiling, the awning should be left to dry completely before rolling it up to prevent damaging mold and mildew growth. Thetford's Premium Awning Cleaner's non-bleaching formula won't discolor or stain fabrics or surfaces.

Continuing with a top-down procedure, the sides of the RV should be washed and black streaks removed. To quickly and easily get rid of black streaks, tough soils and bugs, Thetford's Black Streak & Bug Remover accomplishes the task, yet won't harm or fade decals.

Thetford's Wash & Wax removes the toughest soils, while leaving a protective shine. It should be applied after removing black streaks to help seal in a clean finish.

"Dirt from the roof can easily slide down the sides of the RV and become embedded in any hairline fractures of the fiberglass," said Burrows. "A coat of wax prevents dirt from filling the cracks."

As a last tip, slide outs should be regularly lubricated to keep them in top shape. Thetford offers a Slide Out Lubricant and Slide Out Rubber Conditioner to keep them in good working condition.
