Dometic has equipped the SideWise absorption-type refrigerator with even more home-style convenience. The SideWise includes three RV refrigerator revolutions in one: in-door ice dispenser, stainless steel exterior and automatic defrost. Typically found only in residential-style models, the in-door ice puts convenience at the user’s fingertips, while auto defrost eliminates the chore of manual defrosting. The slim-line frame, hidden controls, and platinum or black stainless steel exterior add a sleek, desirable look to interior décors.

Instead of having to unplug the appliance, Dometic engineered the industry’s first true absorption auto defrost refrigerator. Not a controlled thawing system, SideWise uses a heat plate, moisture run-off, an air-circulating fan and an electronic clock-based timer that automatically removes ice build-up every night while the RVer sleeps. The innovative system operates with no interruptions, no lost time, no mess and the assurance that ice cream stays frozen.

SideWise includes advanced technology resulting in increased energy efficiency and a long problem-free service life. The automatic low ambient feature internally adjusts the cooling unit operation for peak performance. The solid steel frame has an automated heater that keeps the frame warm, preventing condensation and avoiding possible water damage to surrounding cabinetry or floors. An interior fan circulates cool air throughout the compartment for even cooling.

Is Your Work And/Or Play Ruining Your Hands?

Conventional lotions only attempt to replace natural moisture with artificial moisture but it comes off every time you wash. Gloves In A Bottle is a lotion that turns your outer layer of skin into what works like an invisible pair of gloves to keep the moisture robbing irritants out while retaining your own natural moisture. When you know you should be wearing gloves, whether fishing, painting, gardening, or exposed to harsh elements, but don’t want to put any on because they are annoying, wear Gloves In A Bottle.

Many workplace and household chemicals are absorbed directly into your skin, causing skin disorders or just plain dry cracked skin. Also, when participating in outdoor activities from fishing to camping, gardening to painting, or exposure to harsh weather, you are further drying and irritating your skin. Until now, all one could do to alleviate this condition was apply conventional lotions - artificial moisture replacement systems.

Conventional lotions only attempt to replace natural moisture with artificial moisture. The problem is they come off when you wash or touch something. Additionally, in order for any moisture to actually improve a dry skin condition it needs to get below your second major layer of skin. In reality the only moisture that is going to reach this level is your skin’s own natural moisture. Additionally, when you apply artificial moisture to the skin’s surface you may be sending the wrong message that your skin is being adequately moisturized, when in fact it is actually dehydrated of natural moisture. This often results in reducing production of natural moisture, which is vital to abate a dry skin condition.

Unlike artificial moisturizers, Gloves In A Bottle bonds with the outer layer of skin to turn it into what works like an invisible pair of gloves. These "invisible gloves" keep moisture robbing irritants out while helping to retain your skin’s own natural moisture, resulting in skin that is better hydrated than what is achieved by conventional lotions.

Gloves In A Bottle is virtually undetectable once dry, lasts four hours or more, and comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells.

Gloves In A Bottle is available at 9000 pharmacies nationwide. For more information call 800-600- 1881 or visit www.glovesinabottle.com

The Second TRUNK

Your new car is beautiful. The engine is powerful. The interior appointments are luxurious. It has everything you want in a passenger vehicle except one thing: the extra storage space you need from time to time. Now, there is an eye-catching, efficient answer: The Roadster Valet™ from Second Trunk Trailer Company.

Second Trunk's all-new fiberglass trailers are designed to pick up the styling cues of today's premium sedans, coupes and SUVs, and can easily be customized to match the "first trunk" of any passenger vehicle with identical paint, tires and rims. The side profile and rear-end styling is precise in its design, and the trunk lid cut, rain gutter and other features are crafted with the same exacting standards as your car. With 25.0 cubic feet of interior cargo space - 50% bigger than the average mid-sized sedan trunk - a Roadster Valet can easily accommodate four country club-sized golf bags, or any manner of gear, to make any road trip more comfortable and enjoyable.

"Trunks of cars are getting smaller and smaller these days. That's okay most of the time, but who hasn't needed extra storage on occasion?" said Tom Barquinero, CEO of Second Trunk Trailers, Inc. "Our exquisite fiberglass trailers allow you to morph your sedan or sporty coupe into a much larger vehicle on a moment's notice. No more trying to squeeze all of your things plus your family into a cramped car. You're now equipped with an automotive system that allows you to comfortably transport more of your lifestyle and its cargo."

Second Trunk Trailers are compact in size and have short tow-bar tongues. From car hitch to rear bumper they're typically less than half the length of a passenger sedan. They're also made with independent suspension, just like a car. The result is handling that doesn't feel like the car is towing anything. The trailers also feature a dolly wheel on the tongue for easy-on/easy-off maneuverability. A rear bumper receiver accessed through an inside trunk trap door makes attaching bike or ski racks and other accessories a breeze. A trunk floor bungee cord rail track system allows flexible and secure storage configurations, and snap-down side wall pouch pockets provide tidy storage.

Coupled with the company's Vertical Hold accessory, or its removable tongue option, a Roadster Valet can easily store in a one-car garage sharing space with a vehicle, making it perfect for city dwellers who have a limited storage area. In addition, when packed to maximum weight guidelines, Second Trunk Trailers always come well within the gross vehicle weight (GVW) requirements mandated by the vehicle manufacturer and tow package provider.

Barquinero added that Second Trunk plans to add a second model, the Cargo Caboose™, with two size configurations to fit a variety of SUVs and crossovers, in the spring of 2005. A third version, the Coupe Limousine™, for smaller roadsters and sports cars, will debut in the summer of 2005. In addition to the original Roadster Valet, Second Trunk Trailer also offers automobile manufacturers, dealers and other retailers the ability to order a Second Trunk Trailer perfectly matched to any specific make or model of car.

"Under our custom-matching program, dealers, retailers and original equipment manufacturers can order a Roadster Valet that is a perfect match to any vehicle," Barquinero said. "This includes everything from body style to trunk lid cut, straight through to matching tires, rims, taillights and paint - it's a perfect pairing of vehicle plus trailer, design nirvana for car enthusiasts."

He added that once a custom-order trailer is designed to a specific make and model of car, the Second Trunk Trailer Company can accessorize further in a variety of ways. For instance, trunks can be fitted with luggage, camping or tailgating products. They can also outfit a trailer to work in tandem with an automotive dealerships' planned marketing campaigns.

Whether you order one of the company's original Roadster Valet trailers, or opt for the custom-matching program, all Second Trunk Trailers are crafted with the same stringent manufacturing standards and attention to detail as the original Roadster Valet, he said.

The Second Trunk Trailer Company, based in Bend, Oregon, is focused on doing one thing and doing one thing well: Making America's finest automotive cargo trailers.

Tuff-Seal Interlocking Floor Tiles

Flooring Adventures has introduced its Tuff-Seal line of advanced interlocking floor tiles for use in recreational vehicles and support facilities. The tiles utilize a patented, hidden interlock system that produces a secure, flush and virtually invisible seam between tiles. For most Tuff-Seal installations, a fast, simple "Overlap-and-Tap" process is all that is needed. No adhesive, special tools or installation expertise are required.

Backed by a five-year warranty, Tuff-Seal tiles are available in four surface profiles (stud, marquis, diamond and smooth) and eight colors (blue, red, teal, taupe, black, light gray, dark gray and white). Tuff-Seal vinyl transition strips are also available in eight colors. Tuff-Seal joint sealer can be used to create a completely watertight surface.

Tuff-Seal tiles are 18” x 18” x 1/4” thick, weigh 3.5 pounds and are available in two versions. Tuff-Seal Prime is made of virgin PVC and is available in stud, marquis and smooth profiles in eight colors. Tuff-Seal Recycled is made of premium-grade 100% post-industrial recycled PVC and is available in stud and diamond profiles in matte-finish black.

Tuff-Seal tiles can be used in virtually any facility or application, including basements and below-grade areas. Tiles stay in place and do not shift even under heavy point loads. Tuff-Seal’s cushioned feel improves productivity and comfort, while reducing noise, dust and humidity.

Requiring minimal floor prep, Tuff-Seal is easily installed over any flat, clean, structurally-sound surface, including contaminated, moisture- problem or uncured concrete sub floors. Since no solvents, sealers or adhesives are used, the tiles can be installed in VOC-sensitive or restricted areas. Once in place, Tuff-Seal’s hidden interlocking edges create a uniform, water-resistant surface ready for immediate traffic and loads of up to 500 p.s.i. Tiles can be quickly and easily removed and re-laid in other areas as needed.

Tested and resistant to most fluids and other materials, Tuff-Seal tiles are impact, fire, chemical and stain-resistant. Hydraulic/automotive fluids and solder do not affect the tiles if quickly removed, but if damaged, they can be easily replaced. Tuff-Seal meets ADA slip-resistance recommendations and ASTM specifications for F-1700 solid vinyl tile, is 100% recyclable, easy to maintain and helps meet LEED criteria. Since Tuff-Seal tiles are generally not adhered to the sub floor, their cost may be fully deductible in the first year.
