Portable Greenhouses

For you snowbirds with a green thumb who like to grow tomatoes and flowers in the desert but find it difficult because of the nighttime freezing temperatures, Flowerhouse TM is just the ticket.

We’ve been at Edwards Air Force Base Family Camp the last few days and I couldn’t resist taking these pictures of this portable greenhouse. It measures 5 feet wide by 5 feet long by 6.6 feet High and is self erecting. The night before last our exterior water hose froze and that would ruin a nice tomato plant unless of course you had one of these. This is the clear “Planthouse 5” and costs $159.00 delivered. The wind here routinely gusts up to 25 knots or more and this greenhouse stays right where it was planted, held in place by stakes. Flowerhouse carries many different models and sizes. They are all portable and can be assembled in less than five minutes.

They even have opaque storage units that resemble a regular back yard shed.

The Lazy Man's Way to Back up a Trailer

Now, here's the lazy man's ideal method of backing up a trailer: doing it by remove control! Couch potatoes will feel right at home using this device's handheld remote control unit which communicates by radio signal with a receiver unit mounted inside the RV. The RVer has positive and precise control of the movements and is able to park the RV where he wants or move it right up and onto the trailer ball of his towing vehicle.

Never stop to ask for directions again!

Here, sad to say, is a fact of life: Guys hate asking for directions. They’ll drive around in circles before they will stop to ask where to find, say, an RV park. Women find this amusing and frustrating. Guys think it’s perfectly normal behavior.

So here is a simple solution to this age old situation: Get yourself a navigation system that will point you exactly where you want to go. The Pontus PNAV-3530 from Hyundai is a powerful multimedia navigation unit that helps you plot and guide your route. Let's say you're planning a road trip to Las Vegas or maybe or Mt. Rushmore. No problem: just enter your destination and the navigation software will plot the best route. With voice prompts and a 3.5-inch visual display the PNAV-3530 replaces those large, cumbersome fold-out maps with a safe and efficient delivery, making it easier to travel and avoid driving the RV into a telephone pole! In addition, the PNAV-3530 multimedia functions allow you play your favorite MP3 music files and view photos of family and friends. And a really great thing about this system is that it’s portable, so it’s easy to move it from one vehicle to another. Done driving the motorhome? Then bring it with you in the dinghy.
