Microsoft Streets and Trips Software
Hankering to hit the best greasy spoons on your next RV trip? How about making sure you’ll find ATMs up ahead? Microsoft Streets and Trips software lets you customize your trip to suit your tastes. Get accurate driving directions and road maps to just about anywhere in the United States and Canada along with more than 1.5 million points of interest, including hotels, restaurants and national parks. The software also can be used with a GPS receiver. Good Sam product tester Patricia Sweeney of Island Park, New York, took Street and Trips for a spin and reports, “I had a lot of fun using it, and it’s good to know where you’re going. The GPS locator is a great addition.” PRICE: $69.99 CONTACT: Microsoft 877-696-7786 www.microsoft.com/streets
Dreamer Evolution Pillow
Rest up for the next day’s marathon drive with the patented Dreamer Evolution pillow from Snooztime. The Duplex Fill gives the pillow additional height and firmness while adjusting to the unique shape of your body. It moves when you move, continuously changing to meet your support needs. The closed cell microbeads won’t absorb water, inhibiting the growth of dust mites, bacteria, fungus, mold and mildew. Duplex fill also maximizes airflow, keeping you cooler. Raymond Green, a Good Sam product tester from Bristol, Rhode Island, rested his head on the pillow and says, “This pillow is so comfortable, and you don’t have to keep reforming it during the night. I’ve highly recommended it to a friend who needs a comfortable, hypoallergenic pillow.” PRICE: $79.95 CONTACT: Snooztime, 800-336-0088, www.snooztime.com
Contigo AutoSeal Travel Mug
Make sure that freshly brewed coffee stays in your mug, not on your lap. The vacuum-insulated stainless-steel AutoSeal mug from Contigo keeps your coffee hot for up to four hours while preventing drips. Press the button to sip; release to seal. The double-wall construction also keeps your favorite ice tea cold for up to 12 hours. The AutoSeal’s contoured body makes this mug easy to hold and easy on the eyes, and it fits most standard vehicle cup holders. Eric Horgan, a Good Sam product tester from Beacon Falls, Connecticut, sipped from the AutoSeal mug and says, “I like the ease of use and the fact that the mug seals itself after each sip so it can’t spill while I’m driving.” PRICE: $19.99 CONTACT: Contigo, 888-262-0622, www.gocontigo.com
Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect
Pulling a dinghy vehicle is hard enough. Who needs the extra hassle of disconnecting the toad’s battery cables, as is the case with some models of the Chevy Equinox Sport, Pontiac Torrent GXP, Jeep Liberty, Jeep Wrangler and other vehicles. Roadmaster’s Automatic Battery Disconnect allows you to tow without further adjustment to the battery. Connect it and forget it. The device also provides a constant current to the battery during towing, charging it to capacity. A positive current source is available for breakaway systems or other accessories that must be connected to the battery. The unit works on virtually all 12-volt batteries. Good Sam member Gordon Salmon of Iroquois Falls, Ontario, installed the product and reports, “The directions and construction of the Automatic Battery Disconnect are far superior to other similar products.” PRICE: $177 CONTACT: Roadmaster, 800-669-9690, www.roadmasterinc.com
