4-In-1 Safety Stick
Here’s hoping you’ll never have to use all the features of the Safety Stick, a multi-function tool for automotive emergencies.

Peppermint Stick Headache Reliever
For headache sufferers, peppermint can be more than a mint-flavored confection. Applied to the skin, it causes a cool, tingling sensation and may relax blood vessels and relieve pain. Then there’s that soothing minty smell. Taking advantage of peppermint’s natural healing powers, the makers of the Peppermint Stick combine peppermint oil, menthol crystals and rosemary oil in a treatment for headaches, sinus congestion and neck tension. Pain sufferers can rub it on their temples, forehead and neck for quick relief. Good Sam product tester Sue Schoder of San Diego, California, tells us, “The Peppermint Stick smells good and clears up a headache, just like it says.” Price: $5; $13.50 for three Contact: Scents of America 888-709-5653 www.scentsofamerica
Black and Decker Mulching Mower
While you’re getting away from it all in your RV this summer, your lawn can reach new heights. Black and Decker’s battery-powered Mulching Mower can tame the meadow that once was your back yard. The push of a button launches the emission-free electric motor, and the 24-volt sealed lead-acid battery has enough juice to trim a third-acre yard. When you’re done, the mower folds flat for easy storage, just in case you’d like to stow it in your RV and groom the grass at your next campsite. What’s more, it never needs gas, oil or a tune-up. Good Sam product tester James Ward of Dunnellon, Florida, trimmed his grass with the Black and Decker Mulching Mower and states, “This mower is quiet, cordless and has a nice one-wheel adjustment. It’s excellent.” Price: $396 Contact: Black and Decker 800-544-6986 www.blackanddecker.com

The patented raised edge prevents dinner from falling into the fire. When it’s time to serve up your barbecued goodies, you’ll be glad the grill rotates 360 degrees for easy access. An L-shaped screw connects the rack to a 36-inch-long solid-steel stake. Stainless-steel cooking utensils, a hot pad and a glove come in a tote with the grill. Harold Van Blake, a Good Sam product tester from Las Vegas, Nevada, flipped a few burgers and says, “I like how I’m able to raise and lower the grill to change the cooking temperature.” Price: $59.90 Contact: The Perfect CampfireGrill 248-627-1172 www.campfiregrill

A detergent helps keeps tanks clean.
