PROFIT MAKERS Lean, Mean Cargo Slide Kwikee Products Company announces the release of
its newest
cargo slide, the SuperSlide II. A next generation
innovation of the company's
New 4-Wheeler Tote-Along Barker Manufacturing Company of Battle Creek,
Michigan has recently
introduced a new 32 gallon version of their
popular "4-Wheeler" Tote-Along portable holding tank.
The 32 gallon "4-Wheeler" is equipped
with two large 10" rear wheels
and double swivel
front wheels for
maximum maneuverability and "tow
or pull on the level"
operation.
The RV owner does not have to lift this
tank to use it. It's just as easy-to-use as the
old "American Flyer" red wagon. The
special
ring at the end of the handle permits using
any vehicle with a hitch ball to tow the tank to
the dump station.
If short distances are involved the tank
can be easily pulled by hand.
Once at the dump station, it's easy to
position the tank and empty with the conventional "built-in" 3-inch sewer valve.
The "4-Wheeler" comes completely
assembled and is constructed of rugged, blow-
molded polyethylene. Each tank has (1) 3"
bayonet inlet, (1) 3" bayonet outlet, and a
3/4"
male garden hose connection for cleanout and
grey water hookup.
Other accessories include: (1) 3" sewer
hose adapter, (1) 3" stainless steel hose
clamp,
(1) 3"X 5' piece of flexible sewer hose, (1)
3/4".
NEW Brake
Buddy
Master Concepts
has introduced its
newly designed
BrakeBuddy auxiliary
braking system for
towed vehicles. The
new BrakeBuddy,
made of durable poly-carbonate ABS plastic,
holds up under extreme temperature changes and
weight only 12 lbs. The new BrakeBuddy is
designed to be installed by the motorhome owner
in less than 10 minutes, with absolutely no modification to the motorhome or towed vehicle. An
internal solid-state inertia device responds to
the
braking from the motorhome and applies the
brakes on the towed vehicle automatically, relieving the overburdened motorhome brakes. With no
connections to the motorhome, the BrakeBuddy is
transferred quickly from one vehicle to another.

generators, many RVers say they don't have
enough room for a diesel unit. TruckGen solves
this problem with its patented Stacker, an ultra-
compact diesel gen-set that's small enough to fit
where others won't.
With a footprint 21" wide x 17" deep
and a
height of 24", the UCI-3.5 is ideal for
narrow locations. This compact size is achieved by
"stacking"
the dependable Kubota engine on top of the
Stamford Newage generator. Also, the service
points are all on one side, so fitting the gen-set
in
a locker and performing maintenance tasks are a
breeze.
The UCI-3.5
weighs just 160
pounds and produces 3,500 watts
of 120-volt AC
power at 2,800
rpm. This mid-
range operating
speed and the
extra-resilient isolation mounts
greatly reduce
vibration and
noise.
The water-cooled, single-cylinder Kubota average just 1/10 to 2/10 gallon per hour, which
means a 5-gallon can of fuel will go a long way.
Additional features include a remote start/stop
panel and wiring harness, oil pressure and water
temperature shutdown, two-step epoxy paint and
heat shrunk terminal ends. Ignition protection certification is available.
TruckGen also manufactures 5.5 kW and 7.5
kW ultra-compact gen- sets. The price of the UCI-
3.5 is $3,495.

Water Filter is Ideal
for Limited Spaces
Boats and RVs have two problems in common when it comes to drinking water-dirt,
sand and rust
buildup in their
holding tanks and
limited room to
install a filter. The
compact UC-2
water filtration
system from Watts
Pure Water
removes all
unwanted elements, tastes and
odors, and fits
where other systems won't.
Everyone deserves high-quality drinking
water. But, because more and more of the luxuries found at home are making their way
inside boats and RVs, space is at a premium.
The UC-2 was designed with this problem in
mind. It measures just 14" high x 11 "
wide x
5-1/ 2" deep, and will easily fit under most
kitchen sinks.
Watts Pure Water's UC-2 features two
stages of filtration. The first removes dirt,
sand
and rust particles as small as 5 microns, and
the second stage is a 1-micron carbon block
that reduces lead cysts and objectionable
tastes and odors.
The UC-2 is NSF tested and certified to
Standard 53 for the reduction of lead and
cysts, and is also California Prop. 65 certified.
The system includes a dedicated faucet, or can
be connected to an existing cold water line. Its
heavy-duty 10-gauge bracket withstands the
effects of vibration.
Watts Pure Water recommends changing
both the first and second stage filters every 6
months or 1,350 gallons. Suggested retail
price of the UC-2 water filtration system is
$99.
