New RV Products

Reliably Give The New Dodge Cummins Up To 100
More HP With Edge’s Juice With Attitude System

 

 

 

`Edge Products offers its highly sophisticated yet easy to install Juice With Attitude system for the 325-HP 2004.5-2005 Ram Cummins 600 diesel. The Juice-Attitude not only adds power, it improves drivability, towing and even fuel economy.`

The system's Juice power module installs under the hood in about 10 minutes using factory-style connectors. Because the Juice communicates with the Dodge ECM, it's able to monitor real-time driving conditions for smooth, precise power delivery. From inside the cab, the driver can use the system's Attitude monitor/controller to switch among the Juice's 5 power levels on-the-fly: 25 HP/80 Ft-Lb, 40 HP/120 Ft-Lb, 60 HP/150 Ft-Lb, 80 HP/200 Ft-Lb, 100 HP/250 Ft-Lb. So, performance is optimized for every situation -- from heavy towing to even drag racing. Fuel economy can also improve by up to 10% through the Juice-Attitude's superior engine tuning.`

Further, the Attitude has all the functionality of a complete set of aftermarket gauges. Information displayed on the Attitude's backlit LCD readout includes exhaust gas temperature (EGT), turbo boost and percentage of transmission slippage. Plus, the Attitude captures 0-60 and quarter-mile times as well as corrects road speed for nonfactory tire diameters. Engineered-in safeguards include cold-start protection, auto trans slippage and boost control. To keep EGT in check, the Attitude is factory-set to defuel the engine and simultaneously sound an audible warning at 1,250 degrees F. This setting can be reprogrammed to a user-selectable EGT limit.`

Edge Products also manufactures a full line of plug-in modules, programmers, and in-cab controllers for all popular late-model domestic diesel trucks, vans and motorhomes. For more information, please contact Edge Products Inc., 1080 S. Depot Dr., Ogden, UT 84404, 888/360-3343, 801/476-3343, fax 801/476-3348, www.edgeproducts.com.`

Offering a compact, attractive design, the Master-Lift gas springs are maintenance-free and easy to install.
 

`

`
`

Gas springs are a proven method of counterbalancing covers and objects. They offer ideal capabilities for safely lifting, lowering, and positioning heavy or cumbersome objects. More versatile than mechanical springs, gas springs offer the advantages of speed-controlled dampening, cushioned end motion, simple mounting, compact size, flat force curve, and a wide range of available forces.`

Yahama Introduces New Portable Generator Lightweight, compact and quiet with the world’s first aluminum die-cast frame`

Yamaha has introduced the EF2400iS with the world’s first aluminum die-cast frame on a portable generator featuring TwinTech™- ability. Packaged in a lightweight, compact body, the EF2400iS offers the highest output in the 2kVA class, fuel efficiency and quiet operation.

`
 

`
`

The EF2400iS is one of the most advanced generators utilizing Smart Throttle™, TwinTech™ and inverter technologies. The powerful engine utilizes Smart Throttle™, which automatically adjusts engine speed to precisely match the load, offering maximum fuel efficiency, long run-time of 5 hours at full load and more than 8.5 hours with a constant 500 watt load while reducing engine noise. TwinTech™ enables two EF2400iS generators to be run in parallel to achieve a continuous output of up to 3.8kVA with an optional TwinTech™ cable. The generator’s inverter technology utilizes Yamaha’s Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) system further distinguishing it by producing a pure sine wave that is as clean as, or cleaner than commercial power, rather than a clipped, quasi or modified sine wave produced by other inverters on the market. That means that you can use this generator with confidence as a power source for variable speed power tools and appliances and even a computer.`

The EF2400iS utilizes a high-powered 171cc, 5.5 horsepower engine adapted to a lightweight and compact frame to achieve high output without the weight or bulk of a larger generator while still producing enough juice to power a range of equipment including most 13,500 BTU air conditioners, quietly. Operating at 25 percent capacity, the EF2400iS produces a low 53 decibels, perfect for enjoying the outdoors quietly.`

Additional features that make the EF2400iS convenient, easy to maintain and versatile include, a single side-mounted control panel bringing the AC and DC outlets, output displays, and TwinTech™ terminals together with all of the controls in one place. The exterior panels have been designed with a detachable panel on each side for easy servicing and maintenance. The comfort grip handles and convenient grooves on the underside make it easier than ever to pick up the generator from the bottom or use the handles to push or pull the unit, with the optional wheel kit; anyone could easily move the generator at around 70 pounds. There is also a standard equipment battery charge cord that is designed to charge 12-volt batteries in autos, boats, RVs, etc.`

The EF2400iS is covered for two-years by the limited factory warranty covering parts and labor.`

Yamaha Consumer Generators are sold through a network of Yamaha generator dealers throughout the United States. The location of the nearest dealer and additional product information is available online at www.yamaha-motor.com or by calling 1(800)88-YAMAHA`

OZONELite Eliminates Odors, Mold, Bacteria`

No matter where it can take you, recreational vehicles can feel confining. With several people, and in some cases pets, living in a limited space for days or weeks at a time, even the largest, cleanest and most luxurious RV can succumb to odors, mold and bacteria. Wouldn‚t it be great to have a cost-effective, environmentally friendly light bulb that helps eliminate those things?

 

That’s what the founders of OZONELite™ thought when they put their combined 50 years of experience in the energy efficient and LED tech lighting industries to work and created OZONELite.`

OZONELite is the first energy efficient light bulb that reduces airborne bacteria, mold, viruses, fungi, smoke and odors. The bulbs are coated with titanium dioxide (TIO2) and when illuminated, the photocatalytic action may result in the elimination of such airborne pathogens. OZONELite uses no toxic chemicals and the product is more cost-effective than HEPA filters and air ionizers, which only trap airborne particles and are therefore released again when the filters require cleaning.`

  • The OZONELite gives off the same light output as a regular 100- watt incandescent bulb and is so energy efficient that it pays for itself, saving the user an average of $50 in energy consumption over the life of the bulb - what a savings for a major energy consumer like an RV!
  • OZONELite lasts up to 6,000 hours - 8 times longer than an average light bulb, making it convenient and practically maintenance-free for RV travelers.
  • OZONELite helps eliminate the growth of airborne pathogens, smoke and odors that can grow rapidly in a confined living quarter.
  • OZONELite is environmentally friendly eliminating the need for poisonous chemical aerosol sprays, which are harmful to humans and animals, as well as the ozone layer.
  • Unlike standard incandescent bulbs, the OZONELite emits virtually no heat making the RV comfortable for traveling and living.
  • OZONELite fits virtually anywhere a standard incandescent bulb can be used.
`

Although OZONELite doesn’t emit ozone, the name was chosen because ozone is created electrically during thunderstorms and this electrical discharge creates a positive sweet smell that we understand as fresh air.`

Adjustable Clips Keep Legs From Moving`

Preventing loose objects from rolling, shifting or sliding on a moving vehicle can be a challenge for boaters and RVers. Keeping pace with the latest chair and table designs, MarineEast introduces a 2-7/8" clip to safely store larger legs. 

 

With its unique tensioning feature, the 2- 7/8" Leg Clip securely holds stanchion tubes and pedestals in place when stowed. Tension is increased by simply tightening the clip's fastening screw.`

MarineEast also gets a leg up on the competition by putting an end tab on each clip. With a clip positioned at each end of a leg, the tabs keep the tube from sliding, whether it is stored in a horizontal or vertical position. Firmly secured, the legs do not rattle or cause damage while a vehicle is moving.`

These exclusive features are found on MarineEast's other leg clips. Fitting 2", 2-1/4" and 2-7/8" diameters, the clips fit a wide range of stowable cockpit, dinette and deck table stanchions as well as many chair pedestals.`

Molded in the United States of marine-grade plastic, the clips do not scratch metal surfaces. They are available in either black or white. The 2" leg clip retails for $3.48, the 2-1/4" for $3.69 and the 2-7/8" for $4.08.`
