Greetings!

The other day just after the 4th I was riding my bike through some of the neighborhoods close to our offices and after running over a bottle rocket memories of being a kid during the summer came to mind.  When I was a kid  I would be up at the crack of dawn and outside by 8 only to return home for dinner when I remembered.  I quickly realized during my ride there where no kids outside playing.  I rode 5 or 6 blocks before I saw 2 kids in a fenced in back yard and that was it for the remainder of the 10 mile ride.  At first I thought how sad is it that kids just don't come out and play anymore or parents are to in fear of their safety, but times change and what was once the norm is all but outdated.  The interesting thing is that while we where camping over Memorial Day you would have thought the parents of most of the kids there had abandoned them.  There where kids everywhere many times in the middle of the roads and actually requiring adult supervision.  What does that say about RV'ers?  We must be a friendly trusting bunch.

Product Spotlight

 

STREAK-X is custom formulated to safely penetrate and dissolve unwanted black streaks including smoke, soot, brake dust, Love Bug stains and other unwanted chalky residue from all types of RVs.  When I purchased a brand new all white metal sided trailer, it had been sitting outside for a few months and looked pretty dirty. I thought a simple cleaning would be all that was needed to restore it to it's bright white finish, but quickly found out that was not the case. It was full of black streaks and every cleaner I tried did not even fade them. I tried 4 different black streak cleaners with no luck and at one point was using acetone with only limited results. Hunting the internet I found Streak-X and with all of it's claims decided to give it a try. And I will tell you that this stuff works! I sprayed it on and instantly could see the streaks washing down the sides. Since this thing was so bad I scrubbed it in and rinsed it off leaving a brand new trailer again. I now use this cleaner for everything and it is usually always the best cleaner for what ever I am trying to clean from fiberglass, plastic and any other type of surface. It's great for cleaning the roof and getting AC shrouds white again.This is a great product that really works.
 

  

  

Product Review
Cadac Safari Chef Portable Grilling System

I love this little grill!  For the most part we try and cook over the fire, but if the weather is not cooperating or time is tight, than it's time to pull out the grill.  With so little use I really don't want to drag around a big storage space wasting grill and with the recent release of the Cadac Portable Grill thats not an issue.  This compact and versatile grill is perfect for 2-4 people who only need a grill for occasional use.  When you first pull the grill out of the storage bag (which is great because it includes a spot for one of those disposable LP tanks) it takes a minute to figure out how all of the pieces go together. (Well that might have been because I threw away the instructions, hey I'm a guy)  Since we had limited time, we threw on some hot dogs for the test and used the grilling grate which could fit about 4-5 hamburgers to give you an idea of size. The system also includes a griddle and all of the cooking surfaces are non-stick. There is a center burner similar to a stove and a heat deflector to spread out the heat and catch grease.  The trick is to crank up the heat and get that deflector really hot.  Once we figured that out (probably in the instructions) the dogs cooked pretty evenly and fast.  The small size and ease of disassembly really comes in handy during clean-up.  You really don't want a greasy grill sitting in your RV's storage compartment, not only will it smell, but throw in a little summer humidity and mold will be growing in no time.  If your looking for a nice compact grill that will only see limited use, this versatile grilling system is the perfect choice.


 

Get out and RV!
