Battery Tap

WirthCo, a maker of a diverse assortment of fuseblock and battery accessories, announces the development of its unique BaTap(tm) Battery Tap and frame-grounding accessory.
BaTap works two ways: 1) As a side mount battery accessory, BaTap slips conveniently between the battery and the side mount bolt/cable assembly. Each BaTap has three circuit tabs for fastening quick-connect female slip-on terminals directly to the battery. 2) BaTap also makes an ideal frame ground, providing additional taps for connecting ground wires directly to the frame.
BaTaps are designed so that several can be stacked for multiple tapping. For more information, contact: WirthCo Engineering, Inc., 6519 Cecilia Cir., Minneapolis, MN 55439-2719. Phone: 612-941-9073, fax: 612-941-0659.

Carefree's New LITTLE BUDDY

You know the problem: You love that great big window, but it either lets in too much sun or you have to draw the curtains and lose the view. And then when it rains, you have to zip it shut so you lose the ventilation and it gets very uncomfortable. Carefree's LITTLE BUDDY is a convenient way to solve all those problems.
The LITTLE BUDDY comes with a full 3' projection, covering the full length of the window. The awning pitch can be varied with adjustable arms that fold out of the lead bar. Built-in braces also fold out of the lead bar to keep the canopy trim and taught. No loose poles, nothing to put together, nothing to stake down. Anodized aluminum awning structure consists of the lead bar which houses the fold out arms and braces. Awning rail is included. The LITTLE BUDDY is available in sizes 7' to 12' in 1' increments. LITTLE BUDDY is also available in 8 striped vinyl colors and 5 solid colors.
