New Magnum
Opus™ Toilet Features All-China, Residential
Design
The new Magnum Opus
toilet from SeaLand Technology offers RV owners the beauty of a premium residential,
one-piece china toilet for their luxury coaches. With its residential styling, the Magnum
Opus toilet matches the appearance of today's most popular household toilets. And by
combining a new, electronically timed, flush with SeaLand's proven flush valve mechanism,
RV owners now can enjoy the same operating simplicity provided by traditional household
toilets.
Among the standard features on the Magnum Opus are a
wooden seat with elongated opening, whisper-quiet operation, standard and low-profile
height models, and a range of color choices. Other features of the unit include 2 pre-set
water levels. The travel setting keeps residual water in the bowl to a minimum, and
the normal setting, for stationary use, provides a generous water surface similar
to household models. The toilet's add water dual-function flush handle is used to
add water to the bowl before flushing if needed, as well as to activate flushing. The
Opus' flush valve sensor automatically stops the flush valve from closing during
operation if a foreign object prevents normal operation, and the toilet's maintenance
mode keeps the flush ball open and shuts the water off to allow easy access to the
bowl and flush valve seal for cleaning. An anti-splash rim keeps water in the bowl
during travel, and the unit's easy access seat bolts allow the seat to be adjusted easily
if necessary.
SeaLand is the only company that makes toilets in its own
pottery, and is the only company that fabricates a full line of china toilets for
virtually every RV made.

New
Blue Ox® Weight Distributing Hitch
For years, users of weight
distributing hitches have had to endure heavy lifting and maneuvering when hooking up. The
Blue Ox Hitch features an exclusive ramping connection design that reduces hitching
time to just a few minutes. There are no arms to take off and store, and the Blue Ox Hitch
weighs less than most models currently on the market.
Designer Frank Sargent was able to develop a unit that
increased safety by sharply reducing the forces that cause jackknifing. In the process, he
also came up with a hitch that rides smoother and is more convenient than standard weight
distributing models.
The Blue Ox weight distributing hitch also has a
sway-dampening feature that reduces the back-and-forth swaying often associated with high
winds and rough roads. The hitch is available in 500, 1,000 and 1,500 lb. tongue weight
ranges.
