Weston Gear Universal One - Man Canoe Loader Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these in June of 08 and hauled a 17 foot canoe from Maine to Montana. Along with two Yakima racks on my Honda Odyssey and load stops the canoe never moved an inch. Coupled with the Yakima rack system this is an excellent extension for your long canoes. Only negative thing I could say is that it's a little tippy loading. Just remember to tie down the canoe before you swing the canoe around to your roof. This is just a minor isssue.

Thule 982 Bicycle Frame Adapter for Strap and Hitch carriers Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased two Thule 982 Bicycle Frame Adapters for Thule 964 Revolver 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack from the Amazon retailer, Rack Attack. PROS: 1) Because of the numerous different bicycle frame configurations, it will quickly become apparent to the strap/hitch carrier user that mounting the bicycles level is difficult. Attaching the Thule 982 Bicycle Frame Adapter ends to the bike's handle bar and seat stems will make this procedure much easier. For this application, the product seems well designed. CONS: 1) One of adapters I received from the Amazon retailer had rusted bolts while still inside the packaging! However, shortly after being exposed to the ouside environment during use, all the lock bolts on both adaptors quickly rusted. At the stated MSRP, stainless steel hardware would have been the fair and better choice. 2) The rubberized coating on the metal ends of the adaptors will ultimately tear or wear down due to use, UVA exposure, etc.. As a result, the exposed metal ends of the adaptors could damage the bike's finish. Take care to protect the rubberized coating during use and storage. In conclusion, it is my opinion that the Thule 982 Frame Adaptor is both a well designed and needed accessory for the strap/hitch carrier user.

Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We purchased this product so we could haul 4 bikes at the same time we are towing a popup camper. The tow vehicle is a 2008 Aspen SUV. In that situation there are some options but they are limited. We also wanted something we could use whether or not we are towing the camper, so a camper-mounted rack was out. The good news is that 4 bikes fit on the rack with very little problem - I rotated the handlebars on bike #1 90 degress to help the puzzle fit but that was the only modification. The bad news is, when we arrived at our destination there was some damage to the rear door of our vehicle, where the lower bar rests. That is a lot of weight, and apparently that part of the door could not handle it. There are a couple small dents, which are not exceedingly hideous but are noticable. I am considering adding some kind of buffer to that area, something that can absorb / distrubute the weight without incurring further damage to the door. Anybody have any suggestions?

About Allen Bike Racks In 1967, after a few years of working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities.
Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens' tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.

PK-6 Open - Trimmer Rack Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Installed this Grabage on my trailor.Quite alot of work too due to the fact that I welded it on.Thought it would be permanent so why not. It looked very thin metal wise but I figured I had it out of box and reasdy to go so I would take a chance and hope the people that developed it tested it.
First off the metal holders didnt hold my trimmers in properly.This was due to the bracket that holds trimmer being too small.It will only hold it on the thin pole and not in any area where the trimmer is wide.Now when you try to install a trimmer in the other poistion above or below where other trimmer is it wont work due to inadequate spacing.It wont lift up high enough without being blocked by other trimmer.So its basically uiseless.Might as well be a one trimmer holder !!
Fast forward a few months later and all the brackets are bent and broken.Cheap Garbage metal all bent. Now I have to cut the thhing off my trailor.What a pile of crap. My other trimmer holder on other side of my trailor is ten years old and going strong.It ws well built unlike this garbage.It didnt even buy this thing for heavy use only for holding some additional trimmers. Unreal.
DO NOT BUY !

MinnKota RipTide SF 80/BG Bowmount Trolling Motor with BowGaurd Mount (80lbs Thrust) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great motor. The unit lift sometimes sticks, and the unit is heavy - which makes the hydrolic lift nice. Has plenty of power and is very good on battery life.
Pulls a lot of current in windy situations, so make sure your wiring is free of corrosion and the proper guage.

Sanitation Equipment Visa 268 Deluxe Portable Toilet Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this porta-pot for a camping trip out in the desert in an area where there are no facilities. I was skeptical, but I really didn't relish the idea of squatting out in the open where there are literally hundreds of off-roaders zooming by throughout the day. I kept this unit in my tent and never have I camped with such luxury. No more freezing late-night runs to potty outside or piddling in a bucket to be dumped later. It was great!! No odor leakage problems between uses and it was very easy to dump out. I was worried it would get too heavy to lift since I was travelling sans hubbie, but it wasn't a problem. When I got home, I cleaned it up with a bit of water-bleach solution and a good rinse - clean up was very easy.
It comes with a 4oz sample of Liquid Gold concentrated toilet deodorizer that you add to the holding tank (enough for one load); if you plan to dump it more than once on your trip, I recommend you stock up on more of this handy item. Also, dealing with solids took a bit of ingenuity...I found that a very thin layer of TP at the bottom of the bowl took care of any sticky issues. I'm just saying. Another tip - collecting your "yellow" paper in a small plastic trash bag and/or adding it to the campfire pit saves space inside the holding tank.

There are lots of things you can go without on camping trips, but a toilet is one of the least pleasant. Fortunately, now you can bring a restroom with you wherever you go with the Visa 268 deluxe portable toilet. Ideal for camping, hiking, marine applications, RVs, sick rooms, or as an emergency backup, the Visa 268 is efficient and easy to use, with a piston-type flush system, a two-direction rinse, and a level indicator on both the fresh water and waste holding tanks. The detachable spout and smooth, high-gloss surface, meanwhile, are built for quick, efficient scrubbing and disinfecting. Most importantly, the toilet includes a leak- and odor-proof seal, so you needn't locate the Visa 268 in the next county to escape the, um, unpleasant byproducts. Other features include quick-release separation latches, a multiple flush water reservoir, and an air vent for smooth and easy discharge. The Visa 268--which comes with one 4-ounce sample size of Liquid Gold concentrated toilet deodorizer--measures 16 by 16.125 by 16.5 inches (W x H x D) and offers a capacity of 6.3 gallons.
