Innovative Andersen fifth-wheel
hitch leaves truck bed clean when unhitched
The Ultra Gimbal Hitch, the newest product
for the fifth-wheel industry, is the only hitch that leaves the truck bed 100% clean and
unobstructed when the trailer is unhitched. The hitch's simple and modern design is ideal
for easy assembly and installation. Moreover, the hitch can be hooked up regardless of truck and trailer alignment.
The Ultra Hitch kit includes an adjustable trailer adapter that bolts directly to the mounting
plate; a Gimbal Ball Hitch Hookup that allows a 15 degree twist-off from perfect alignment
when the truck and trailer are twisted in reference to each other; frame mounted brackets
that bolt into truck frame for a strong, rigid foundation; and quick release pins that
mount externally in the wheel well for decoupling the trailer from the truck.
Designed for fifth-wheel RVs and livestock/flat bed
goose-neck trailers, this one kit will fit Ford, Chevrolet/GMC and Dodge trucks. The Ultra
Hitch is fabricated from high strength steel and is powder coated with black urethane.
This is the only hitch that will travel on all terrains with no stress on the trailer or
truck, according to the maker.

Extend-A-Flow Plus
Extend-A-Flow Plus is
designed to be compatible with Type 1, ACME propane connections. Once installed, the
elbowed tee can be used with a Marshall Brass twelve-foot hose to fuel portable appliances
like camp stoves, lanterns and table top grills. The elbowed tee is installed between the
green nut on the end of the flexible pigtail hose and the valve on the propane cylinder.
The elbow points back towards the hose nut making the connection possible with existing
short flexible hoses. This is a cost saving benefit to RVers due to the fact that a
straight tee fitting would require the purchase of an additional hose.
Extend-A-Flow Plus is available through distributors
nationwide, or for more information contact Marshall Brass, 450 Leggitt Rd., Marshall, MI
49068. Phone 800-447-9513; e-mail

Make Rough Roads Smooth
Brock's Ad-A-Ride is a new steering axle
Air-Ride suspension. It can be easily installed on most leaf spring RVs, trucks and buses
by simply replacing the rear shackle links with the uniquely designed slotted guide links
and locking system.
Ad-A-Ride eliminates road shock for the steering axle by
putting the load on the air spring. The air spring and the air leveling values are
standard production types handled by most suppliers of truck and trailer parts.
Brock's Ad-A-Ride will save on driver and passenger
fatigue and cut cab maintenance costs. It has been tested and proven on all models of
trucks driving millions of miles with practically no
additional maintenance other than regular service, according to the manufacturer. The
first Ad-A-RIDE system was installed in May 1988.
BROCK's AD-A-RIDE (patent number 4998749)
is easy to install and can be custom fitted for each truck model, so each driver can get
the same amount of comfort. AD-A-RIDE will lower operating costs by reducing cab
vibration. It will reduce shock input at the steering wheel and axle, as well as improve
the ride and handling. Cab vibration can cause bulb and electrical component failure, as
well as driver fatigue.

N. First St., Morrisonville, IL 62546. Phone 217-526-4411.
Eliminates Holding Tank Odors
The new Odorlos®
136 ounce measuring bottle makes treating holding tanks easier. Use the attached measuring
cup to get the correct amount of treatment.
Odorlos is an all natural and effective product to
prevent odors from holding tanks and speed up the natural composting process. The
unpleasant odor from holding tanks is hydrogen sulfide, which is produced when bacteria
gets energy from sulfates in waste materials. Bacteria is what breaks down the waste, but
you don't have to have the smell. What Odorlos does is provide a preferred energy source,
so the natural composting process can run without sulfates as the energy source, not
causing any orders.
Because Odorlos is all natural, it can also be used in
grey tanks. Four ounces of the product will handle a 40-gallon black tank, or two ounces
for a grey tank. Based on the suggested retail price of $25.95 for the 136 ounce measuring
bottle, a four ounce treatment is less than 76¢.
