Are you ready for the next hurricane?
Eternabond is a high-tech adhesive in
tape form originally designed to create water-sealed, corrosion-proof pipes and
stanchions under the ocean. This adhesive is so advanced, the tape has even been
installed underwater with perfect results!
Installation is as quick and easy
as using a piece of tape! Eternabond does not ooze or streak and can be
installed to a clean, dry surface down to -20 degrees F, yielding professional
results for anyone.
This is the only product that fixes RV leaks the moment
it makes contact with the repair area, grabbing all types of surfaces including
rubber, steel, aluminum, and fiberglass. This makes it perfect for Rubber and
Steel Roofs, Recreational Vehicles, Mobile Homes, Drain Pipes, Awnings, and
more! It even fixes leaking holding/water tanks and polyethylene. No other leak
repair product is as effective or as easy to use! A kit to repair or seal your
RV includes a 4"x 50' roll of WB-Seal plus a quart of Eternabond Tintable UV
Protector. Cost is $69. Call 888-336-2663. www.eternabond.com

Putnam Turns Fifth Wheel Towing Upside Down!
Putnam Hitch Products, Inc.
has announced the development of a new system for fifth wheel towing unique to
the industry. The revolutionary design replaces the traditional fifth wheel
hitch mounted in the bed of the tow vehicle with a system designed to allow the
user to transform their single purpose tow vehicle back into a multi-use pickup
truck. Called the Freedom Fifth Wheel System, this product can be installed on
any travel trailer with a standard kingpin and literally turns the fifth wheel
hitch upside down!
Developed to work in conjunction with the Lock & Load
Underbed gooseneck hitch from Putnam Hitch Products, the Freedom Fifth Wheel
System's inverted fifth wheel head installs directly to the kingpin on the fifth
wheel trailer in less than 5 minutes. Once installed there is no need to ever
remove it. A two part system, the Freedom Fifth Wheel couples directly to a
"plug-in" kingpin mounted in Putnam's popular Lock & Load Underbed
Goose-neck hitch. With a simple pull of the Lock & Load's handle, the
gooseneck ball can be removed and replaced by the plug-in kingpin. Back the tow
vehicle into the Freedom Fifth Wheel and you are ready to go. It is that
simple!
When the trip is done, simply pull the release on the Freedom Fifth
Wheel's Inverted head and pull forward. The Freedom Fifth Wheel stays with the
trailer. With a pull of the Lock & Load's handle, the plug-in kingpin, at a
mere 35 pounds, is so light weight and compact that it can be stored right in
the truck. Your truck is now restored to the versatility you expect from a
pickup truck.
Never again will you be stuck with a bulky, unattractive fifth
wheel hitch permanently cluttering up the bed of your truck and limiting its use
to that of a single purpose RV hauler. The smart move is to get away from a big,
bulky traditional fifth wheel hitch and to the Freedom Fifth Wheel System,
exclusively from Putnam Hitch Products. Phone: 800-336-4271. Email:

Blue Ox® Sport Carrier Line Now Includes Motorcycle Carrier!
Blue Ox® has
introduced a complete line of sport carriers designed for RVers and other
outdoor enthusiasts. The Blue Ox Motorcycle Carrier I enables RVing bikers to
bring their motorcycles along - without the inconvenience of towing a
trailer!
The Blue Ox Motorcycle Carrier I mounts in the receiver hitch of a
motorhome or bus and includes two receivers for additional support. The powder
coated steel rack is easily mounted, is designed for all types of motorcycles,
and can readily be removed when not in use. Tie down bracket loops, or stingers,
are included with the rack. A breeze to load, the motorcycle is rolled up the
ramp into place, tied down, and then the loading ramp is stored neatly on the
receiver tubes. This unique design not only mounts in the receiver hitch, but it
also provides a receiver at the back enabling the RVer to also tow a small
vehicle (under 5000 lbs.) behind the motorhome with a tow bar. This combines the
best of both worlds...they can take "ALL" their toys with them rather than
choosing between the motorcycle and the car/truck!
For more information on
the Blue Ox Motorcycle Carrier I and the complete line of Blue Ox® towing,
braking, steering, carriers, and weight distributing hitch systems, contact Blue
Ox ®, One Mill Rd., PO Box P, Pender NE 68047; phone (402) 385-3051; Fax (402)
