According to the calendar, Christmas comes in December. I beg to differ. As much as I love the magic and marvel of the whole December Christmas season, for me you can’t beat the sheer joy and anticipation of the new year and all the promise and potential it brings.

What gets me so excited for our first month of the year? Two words: trade shows! January and February are a time of year for us in the RV trade to really strut our stuff. We get to unveil all our shiny, new toys to an eager audience of retailers.

This year is no different. We have a couple of new and exciting items that should attract a lot of attention at an RV dealer near you.

• Lend-A-Hand Banister Rail – A great, new addition to our popular and oh-so-functional line of rails and handles, this one-piece rail pulls right out from the unit for greater convenience and ease of use. It’s offered in two lengths: 42” for triple steps and 50” for quad steps. So if you’re looking for a rail that delivers steady, smooth support, step right up!

• Dolly Chock – If you own a single-axle trailer that has wheels on its tongue jack, you’re going to love this. Our new Dolly Chock keeps your dolly firmly in place, greatly reducing the risk of rolling away. It fits 6” an 8” single wheels; 6” tandem wheels, and 5.5” and 6” round jack feet. What’s more, it’s constructed of molded EPDM rubber, instead of crumb rubber, so it won’t split, shred, crack or break.

These are just a couple of the innovative items we’re excited to share. Look for us at your favorite RV dealer. Or more likely, on the road and on our way to that next adventure.

Happy Camping,

Bob.
