PROFIT MAKERS New Hitch Biker Carries Bicycles with
No DuraSafe Inc. has developed the Hitch Biker, a
unique bike rack that mounts directly to the hitch under
the trailer ball allowing full access to the trailer ball for
towing. The patented rack fits Class I, II, III, & IV trailer
hitches, carries up to two bikes and mounts in seconds.
The Hitch Biker is constructed of solid steel with an
epoxy-painted finish to prevent corrosion, the DuraSafe
Hitch Biker has a suggested retail price of (US) $65.95.
Other bike racks that allow you to tow a trailer
while carrying bikes require an extension that significantly
reduces maximum towing capacity.
Wisconsin-based DuraSafe manufactures locks for
a variety of recreational uses, including boats, ATVs, bicycles and motorcycles.

High-speed Internet in Recreation Vehicles
ANW Devices, a company dedicated to high speed data communication for
over the road users, introduced its iAntenna™ product to the recreation vehicle
industry at RVIA’s Louisville show.
The iAntenna™ product is an electronics
device for connecting vehicles
such as motor homes to wireless highspeed
internet connections found in
campgrounds and truck stops. The
iAntenna™ product enables travelers to
use cost effective high-speed Wi-Fi internet
connections while at truck stops, RV
parks and thousands of coffeehouses,
bookstores and print shops. An on dash
signal gauge keeps Wi-Fi signal strength
information at arms length while a roof
top unit pulls in signals from over a quarter of a mile away.
Two full time RVers, Tom and Barbara Cambroto, used ANW’s first prototype
to establish a connection with a hot spot in an RV park 1200 feet away
from their location in Desert Hot Springs. Barbara stated “The connection is so
fast and before we had the iAntenna we never knew it was there. I can’t imagine
life with out it!”
ANW developed the iAntenna™ product in response to requests for a better
way for RVers to connect to these Wi-Fi networks and has standing orders from
Phoenix area RV dealerships. Several large RV manufacturers have agreed to
pre-wire coaches while others have expressed an interest in factory installing
iAntenna™ in their products as a standard feature.

New Adapter Converts Non-Compliant
Propane Tanks Into Compressed Air Tanks
Intromark Inc. has introduced Propane to Air™, an adapter for propane tanks that converts them
into compressed air storage containers. The product allows the user to "recycle" older propane tanks
with or without an overfill protection device (OPD), a feature required by Federal National Fire and
Safety Standards.
Propane to Air™ provides an alternative use for older propane tanks. The
product eliminates the hassle and expense of taking non-compliant propane
tanks to landfills and paying a disposal charge. Once converted, the compressed
air can be used to inflate tires, blow dust and dirt off surfaces or complete
any task that requires a blast of air. And, by reducing the amount of
waste taken to landfills, the user would also be helping the environment.
Propane to Air™ features an adapter that connects directly to the tank.
After purging the propane completely from the tank, the user can attach this
product and fill the tank using any standard tire inflation nozzle. Suggested
retail price is $19.95. Each Propane to Air kit includes the adapter with gauge,
5-ft. hose and a tire chuck.
Intromark Incorporated, a new-product licensing and marketing firm, is seeking marketers and
retailers that supply propane tanks, gas, or accessories to their customers. Intromark Incorporated
can also offer companies access to an ongoing source of patented and un-patented inventions matched
to specific areas of interest. Access to these inventions is free to companies that manufacture or market
new products.

(800) 851-6030 or (412) 288-1368, fax (412) 338-0497.
Blue Ox® introduces SwayPro™
The latest in Weight Distributing technology
Blue Ox introduces a weight distributing hitch that offers the most user friendly technology on the
market today.
SwayPro eliminates trailer sway under heavy loads, high winds and rutted roads utilizing four
points of friction- just set the amount of control you require for your individual cargo or driving conditions.
“The self latching tongue bracket makes the SwayPro much easier to operate than traditional
methods”, according to Blue Ox President Jay Hesse. The bracket lock automatically secures into
place and releases with a simple push of a lock pin.
The SwayPro also features a head angle that can be conveniently adjusted by a thumbscrew
according to the amount of weight distribution desired. It is also available for four tongue weights:
BXW0550 (550lbs), BXW0750 (750lbs), BXW1000 (1000lbs), and BXW (1500lbs). SwayPro™ was successfully
tested to a Class IV (15,000GVWR) rating according to the appropriate portions of the SAE
J684 testing procedure.
The SwayPro is powder coated to prevent the unit from rusting, corroding or chipping. The grease
from the unit is captured inside the springbar head socket to help keep the outside of the unit and
the user “grease-free”.
