CookMate 3100 Alcohol Stove Offers Safer RV Cooking

An enjoyable day on a boat or RV can become even more delicious when it's topped off with a hot meal. But stoves using traditional cooking fuels such as butane or propane pose the risk of explosion. This is eliminated with the new CookMate 3100 double burner alcohol stove, which features the SafeFlame non-pressurized fuel canister system.

The canister's unique design prevents fuel from leaking out, even if it's turned completely upside down. This portable stainless steel stove is fueled by a SafeFlame stainless steel canister containing a non-flammable wick material. It absorbs and holds approximately 1-1/4 qts. of alcohol fuel. Alcohol is a safe, clean cooking fuel and can be easily extinguished with water.

The Space-Saving interVac Cleans Takes Up Dirt...Not Space

Conventional vacuums take up valuable storage space and most central-vac systems are limited in where they can be installed. Used by RV builders such as Keystone, Pilgrim and Gulfstream, as well as boatbuilders such as Sea-Ray, the interVac offers infinite mounting capabilities.

According to the interVac site, the unique interVac systems can be mounted on their backs and sides or upright. Designed to be fully portable or permanently installed in minutes, they deliver a lightweight, space-optimizing vacuum that doesn't sacrifice power. Able to be concealed within a wall, step or storage bay, the RM and RGM Models are remotely located.

They feature an auto start inlet valve connected with 2" flex-hose and also have a cord or are hard-wired. For 100% protection from pet dander and allergens, the superior vacuums use an efficient HEPA Style filtration process. It helps provide a fresher, cleaner and healthier RV environment.

WeatherMax 80 Awning For The Airstream Safari

Safety Components International homepage features details on the WeatherMax 80 awning.

When designing its new 17' and 22' Safari Sport, Airstream's aim was to make the RV light enough to be pulled by a standard SUV or V6 minivan. The strenuous exercise in weight-savings left no ounce unexamined, including the awning. Airstream turned to fabricator Zip Dee to supply WeatherMax 80 by Safety Components for awnings that helped keep the Safari Sport light on its wheels.

"We're able to roll WeatherMax 80 into a tighter package," said Zip Dee owner Jim Webb. "That made it possible to remove 20% of the awning housing louvers. We used airplane aluminum rather than stainless steel for the rollers to decrease the awning's weight by 14%."

WeatherMax 80 is easily rolled because the premium fabric is 33% thinner and 14% lighter than acrylic.

Thin, attractive WeatherMax 80 is twice as strong as its competitors. Crazing marks from frequent rolling and unrolling are eliminated and its patented HydroMax finish combats mildew.
