Last month we were late with the newsletter as a result of selling our house and making the move to living full time in our RV, as well as being busy with the launch of our exciting new product the LightCheck & Safety Plug. If you are the owner of a 5th wheel, trailer or toy
hauler, you need to check out the LightCheck. It's truly a very
innovative product that every towable owner will find helpful.
This is our first month as full-timers. Since we have lived in the RV almost full time for a number of years, it hasn't been a huge adjustment. However, selling the house and moving in full time was a big challenge. We no longer have a house to go back to where our "stuff" is. Making the decisions about what goes into the rig, what comes out, what gets thrown away, what would be sold, what would go into storage, etc. was a humungous challenge. Thinking of clothing for different seasons, papers and documents, tax returns and all the "stuff" that used to have a home now has to find a home in the rig. Also, because we are traveling down the road selling product, our basement is already committed, so it has been a big challenge. A challenge that we are still figuring out. Many of you can relate to this.
We are currently in Lodi, CA setting up for the Northern California Samboree. We then return to the warehouse in AZ for a couple of days before we leave for the east. We personally haven't done shows in the east for a few years as our teams have usually taken care of them, but this year there were some openings so we are making the long and EXPENSIVE trek. Perhaps we will see you at some of the shows. We have put a list of the rallies on the website so you can see where we will be without having to go back to the newsletter all the time.
We have also made some changes to the website that you might find interesting. We have embedded product videos on the site and are showing customer comments on various products. Please send in your comments on our products or you experience with Coil n' Wrap and we will post them on the site. It helps other people make their buying decisions.
We are doing our Mothers Day Special May 5-14th like we did last year. You get 10% off everything on the site that is not already on sale. So don't forget Mom! It's also a great time to stock up for birthday gifts for your RVing friends and family or to get that product that you have wanted but were waiting for it to come on sale. Well, May 5-14th is sale time. Take advantage of it.

Customer 'LOVES' Bugs 'r Off
The following is a customer comment about Bugs 'r Off.
"I never reply to anything I purchase but I can't resist. I drive a yellow car
that the bugs love. Everyday I use a razor blade to scrape the bugs off my
windshield and scrub the front of my car forever. Your bug remover spray is the
best product I have ever used. I just sprayed it on and wiped all the bugs off
on any surface. It even got a bug splat off of the back of my mirror that I
have tried to get off for months. Thank you so much for a wonderful product. I
am telling everyone about it and I can hardly wait to use it on my travel
trailer. You will be seeing me order more. Thanks again", Susan
This is one of many positive comments we are getting about Bugs 'r Off. If you haven't tried it yet, you should get it this month while the 10% off sale is on. If you already have it, stock up now as bug season is just getting started. |

This is Part 2 of an article on High Temp Sticky Back that started in last months newsletter. The link to it is on the home page of the website. The first two paragraphs below are the same as last months but this month we are sharing other ideas and uses for this great product. Please read the 4 rules of Sticky Back in the April issue as it will make a big difference to having sticky back work effectively for you.
(From last month) We're getting into the hot time of the year and I thought it would be a good idea to revisit our High Temperature Sticky Back Product. RVers have had a love affair with hook & loop type products for years and particularly sticky back. The problem that we all have had with traditional sticky back is that it's allergic to the heat. When it gets hot the adhesive melts and you have a sticky gooey mess on your hands and whatever was being held in place by the sticky back is on the floor.
I was frustrated by this as anyone. I finally located some sticky back
that won't melt off and have been using it now in my rig for the last
three years. The melting point of the adhesive is 212 degrees. I live
in Arizona and have used it in my rig since then and haven't had any
problems with the adhesive melting and letting me down.
(This month) We use it throughout the rig securing everything to counters in the kitchen and bathroom, securing the GPS to the dash, hanging pictures, holding small appliances in place, radios, clocks, keys, TV controllers and just about anything you can think of. Below are some images of various uses.
 
TV Controllers & Pictures
Flashlights in any dark spot, under cupboards,in closets, under the bed etc.

| Everything on the counter is secured to the counter, the spoon rack, flowers, wine bottle, the cheese board is secured to the easel and the easel to the counter. When we travel nothing is in the sink except perhaps a dirty dish. When we get to where we are going we don't need to set anything up. When we leave we don't have to tear it down. Best of all! Happy Hour Starts Sooner!

Toilet Paper Tips
I recently read an article about toilet paper that you might find interesting. The article was written by Mark Nemeth the Technical Advisor to Escapees. Mark did some testing on various toilet papers to see how well they dissolved and has found that Angel Soft and Scott single ply will disintegrate completely when tested. It is a lot cheaper to buy this kind of paper as opposed to the more expensive toilet paper that is sold to RVers for the toilet.
Just in case you didn't know, regular toilet paper doesn't break up and dissolve and can create a problem in the holding tank and with your sensors. That is why it is recommended that you use toilet paper that will dissolve. When you test, good
paper should break down into shreds or bits. The bad paper stays intact.
Neither will dissolve like sugar and disappear. Mark says put a sheet in half a
jar of water and give it a shake. He said Angel Soft was the tissue that
dissolved completely and that the people have told him that Costco Kirkland brand also tested well.

Security Light Now Available For LED's!
The popular 12 volt motion detector Security Light will now work with LED's. This light replaces the porch light at the front door of your rig and operates as a porch light or as a motion detection light that will come on when you come home after dark or if someone comes around your rig after hours. It throws about double the light of a standard porch light. You can also replace the porch light with an amber light to chase away bugs.
