Poison Ivy Blocked
Poison Ivy Blocked
Cade Laboratories has introduced two new products, Buji Block and Buji Wash, that are designed to protect campers against poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac.

Buji Block is a protective lotion that helps guard against allergic reactions by blocking the absorption of urushiol, a toxic oil found in these plants. The product also contains an SPF 20 sunscreen. Buji Wash is an exfoliating cleanser that can be applied after symptoms appear and is designed to wash away urushiol, thereby relieving irritation and itching.

Cade Laboratories, headquartered in Chicago, makes skin care products that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. They are available at Rite Aid. For information about Buji Block and Buji Wash, visit www.bujiproducts.com

Vacuum Pack Protects Freshness
FoodSaver’s GameSaver Turbo is a vacuum packaging appliance that can be used to seal food in airtight packages to prolong freshness. For RVers, it’s a way to store staples like sugar and coffee, package ready-made meals, and save food gathered on a trip, like Iowa corn or California avocados.

The GameSaver comes with two vacuum pumps for heavy-duty use, a starter kit of five FoodSaver bags, two FoodSaver rolls, an accessory hose, a user manual and an instructional video. An accessory port allows users to vacuum pack food in cans, jars bottles and canisters. Suggested retail price is $299.99. The product is available at sporting goods retailers and other stores. For information, visit www.foodsaver.com or call (877) 777-8042.

Step Added for RVs
A device called the Add-a-Step is designed to make it easier to enter and exit from travel trailers, fifth wheels and toy haulers. The device attaches to entry/exit steps that are more than 10 inches from the ground to provide a lower first step.

The Add-a-Step is constructed of steel and is reinforced to handle loads of up to 575 pounds. The step has a non-skid surface for safety. It weighs less than 10 pounds, making it easy to store in an RV. The regular listed price is $89.95.

The Add-a-Step is available through South Side RV Sales, a subsidiary of The Star Alliance, 13203 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV 89511. For information call (800) 679-2729 or visit www.add-a-step.com.

Winegard Lowers Antenna
Winegard has introduced a new generation of satellite television antennas called the RoadTrip with a dome height of 12 inches—three inches shorter than its Movin’ View models. The new antennas are no higher than a rooftop air conditioning unit, making them a good choice for RVs with height restrictions or for people who want to minimize the antenna’s appearance.

The RoadTrip is offered in both stationary and in-motion systems. Both are equipped to receive DIRECTV and DISH Network signals, and automatically lock onto the correct satellite for clear reception. The in-motion model has the ability to automatically toggle between satellites while parked or traveling down the road, making it easy to change channels. Suggested retail price for the stationary model is $1,399. The in-motion version is listed at $1,999.
