Patington's new West Coast Magnet
Mirror eliminates the need to have a second person assist when hitching up your
trailer, boat or other equipment pulled by a tongue. The West Coast Magnet Mirror features
a 6" x 16" detachable, adjustable mirror that fits into a telescoping,
adjustable base unit that ranges from 24" to 48". Made of lightweight, durable
aluminum, the strong magnetic base eliminates time consuming set up. Set the proper angle
the first time you use it and you won't have to reset it again. Just set it on the spot
you've marked on the tongue. Suggested retail for the West Coast Magnet Mirror is $54.95.

Current Boosting Solar
Controller
RV Power Products has introduced Solar
Boost2000, a 20 amp fully automatic, current boos-ting
photovoltaic charge controller. According to the manufacturer it is the only PV controller
on the market that can actually increase charge current to the battery. Through the use of
patent pending technology, Solar Boost 2000 can increase charge current up to 30% or more.
Current boost charges the battery more rapidly, and can make possible the need for fewer
PV panels. It includes a digital meter to show battery voltage, PV array current and
output charge current. You can actually see current boost working by noting the difference
between PV array current and output charge current. Adjustable charge voltage allows the
unit to support various battery types. Optional temperature compensation is available to
further improve charge performance and battery life. Power Boost 2000 will operate
"stand alone" or as a fully integrated "power unit" slave to the
firm's Battery Manager 6210. For more info, contact: RV Power Products, 1058
Monterey Vista Way, Encinitas, CA 92024. Phone 800-493-RVPP.
