| 0812rv 02 New Products Leer Truck Cap
Space Saver
Ask every RVer what they need most of all, and the consensus answer is likely to be, "More storage space!" No matter how big the rig or how simple the outing, clothing, food, supplies, tools and other camp necessities seem to fill every available RV closet, cabinet and compartment.
LEER offers owners of trailers and pop-up campers a creative way to overcome this limitation and add a huge weather-protected, secure storage space to your existing rig: Put a LEER truck cap on your tow vehicle!
LEER offers the industry's widest selection of truck cap models, prices, styles and sizes, and there are custom fits for virtually every pickup truck on the road. While standard features and styling vary from model to model, all LEER caps are painted with automotive-quality DuPont paint using colors that match original factory formulas. All have limited lifetime warranties and look great while they provide protection and security for your pickup truck bed and everything in it.
LEER truck caps provide another creative way to add capacity to your rig: world-famous Thule roof racks. The LEER factory can add these premium transport systems to any LEER truck cap, giving you the ability to safely carry the gear you need for virtually any sport or outdoor activity, from kayaking to mountain biking.
One of the best aspects of a LEER cap is that it stays with your truck when you unhook your trailer and set up camp. That means you have secure, weather-protected cargo space for runs into town, for antiquing, hauling firewood, souvenir shopping and anything else that makes your camping adventure more complete. Once you're home again, you will discover a thousand daily reasons to love a LEER cap, too. It's the single best enhancement a pickup truck can get.

| 0812rv 04 New Products P Trap Valve
P-Trap Tip
There are 10 ways a P-trap can fail in an RV, all of which allow health hazards of odors and waste fluids to pass into the living quarters. HepVo waterless waste valves can prevent all 10 potential odor and waste fluid problems.
The HepVo waterless waste valve replaces both the P-traps and the check vents on sinks, showers, washing machines and lavatories. The HepVo product creates a barrier between the living space and the drainage system, thus eliminating nasty smells and backwash of waste fluids.
The HepVo waterless waste valve has a proven track record with over 2 million already sold in Europe. And now in the United States, many RV manufacturers are using the HepVo product in many of their newest models. Installation of the HepVo product is quick and easy.

| 0812rv 05 New Products Solar Pulse Charger
Go Green
Offering three models to choose from and the revolutionary Pulse Technology maintenance program, SolarPulse rates as the most effective and rugged solar charging system available today.
Not only does SolarPulse efficiently charge 12-volt batteries, it also cleans the battery plates by removing the sulfate deposits from the plates and converting them to active electrolytes.
When installed permanently, SolarPulse not only provides clean, quiet energy but also helps keep sulfates from building up again so batteries will stay strong all the time. With clean plates, batteries recharge faster, accepting a full charge, and release all stored energy, providing maximum power. SolarPulse is currently available in 2-watt (PN 735X302 SP-2), 5-watt (PN 735X305 SP-5) and 6-watt (PN 735X613 12V ERV Unit) configurations.
The 5-watt solar panel, for example, is nearly half the size of other 5-watt panels and offers more installation options. The 6-watt model is ideal for emergency rescue and law enforcement vehicles due to its unique rectangular size, easily mounted on many light bars. The 2-watt and 5-watt models include 17 feet of wire between the circuit box and solar panel, and the 6-watt unit includes 14 feet of wire. For more information, call (800) 580-7554, or go to www.pulsetech.net.
| 0812rv 06 New Products Hitch Carrier
Gear Hauler
Let's Go Aero, manufacturer of innovative Gear Management Solutions for the automotive, recreation and commercial trade industries, offers a new way to transport and store portable generators.
The company's GearDeck 17 is an enclosed, hitch-mounted carrier system. Measuring 48 inches in length, 25 inches in width and 25 inches in height, the securable (padlock location provided) environment has simplified the operations and logistics of transporting heavy generators.
"We put the portability in portable generators," said Marty Williams, president of LGA. LGA's GMC Professional Grade Award-winning (2002 SEMA Show) TwinTube hitch rack serves as the structural foundation for the GearDeck system.
This dual-tube platform provides the stability and strength that heavy equipment requires. Adding to the stability is the integration of the company's Silent Hitch Pin technology, which is a market-proven antirattle, antiwear device.
Owners can add or remove components of the versatile GearDeck 17 to create the carrier that best accommodates their needs. The system can be used as a hitch rack (TwinTube), an open platform cargo carrier (GearDeck) or in its original form (GearDeck 17). All configurations permit telescoping capability for access to vehicle doors and cargo bays.
In addition to addressing the everyday transportation, storage and organization of power and related equipment, the GearDeck 17 system has proven to add value for the interests of the recreational vehicle owner. "Generators are very expensive to install in RVs, and they are not transferable in the event the vehicle is sold. Additionally, many are located in the compartments underneath where the beds are located, making for a very noisy sleeping environment," Williams said. "The GearDeck can be easily transformed from vehicle to vehicle, and since it is located in the vehicle's rear, it won't disturb those slumbering."
Many aspects of the GearDeck 17's intellectual property are incorporated into the Onan JuiceBox, the world's first self-contained, hitch-mount towable genset that was codeveloped between Cummins Power Generation and LGA. And, unlike many competing carriers, GearDeck 17 can be shipped via FedEx Ground delivery.
Let's Go Aero is the innovation leader in aerodynamic receiver-style hitch-based GearCarrier solutions, specializing in aerodynamic carriers for recreational equipment transport, general travel and commercial trade uses.
