Morgan Hill, CA, December 2008 – The Husky CENTER LINE Weight Distribution and Sway Control System is the industry’s first self-centering sway control system providing drivers with complete confidence during their towing experience. Compression cylinder action and torsion spring bars work together to distribute weight and oppose trailer sway before it begins, keeping a trailer straight, on center, during all driving conditions. Current “passive” sway control towing systems rely on clamping to provide static friction that reduces, but does not eliminate trailer sway. Such systems require adjustment to maintain friction and do not promote centering of the trailer behind the tow vehicle. The Center Line system’s patent pending technology creates centering forces that work against the tendency to sway, self-centering the trailer. The system can be used in all driving and weather conditions including backing-up. The “Easy Adjust” head alignment systems and the streamlined sturdy bracket design allow quick and easy set-up at time of installation. The CENTER LINE system comes in three models for use with Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) up to 14,000 lbs and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Husky Towing Products is committed to continually providing innovative products to its customers. The new CENTER LINE system represents the next generation in sway control technology. Husky Towing Products designs, manufactures and distributes a complete line of hitches, electrical products, and accessories for the towing industry. We are committed to providing our customers with innovative products and excellent technical and customer support. Husky Towing products are distributed throughout North America.

October 2008, Morgan Hill, CA. Coast is pleased to announce its new DirectSUCCESS Dealer Advantage Program, a program designed to take the benefits of a distributor show direct to the dealership. The program offers a unique package of great brands, new products, and financial incentives designed to deliver enhanced profits and cost savings directly to the dealer. Coast has gone beyond the show by improving the process and making the benefits available to more dealers. “Dealers tell us loud and clear that in today’s economic environment they need our help to stay competitive,” said Jim Musbach, president of Coast. “Many dealers want to take advantage of show discounts, but have not been able to attend because of retail show conflicts.” “Our supplier partners ask if the distributor show format has run its course – is there a more cost effective and direct way to deliver exciting new products, marketing support, financial incentive, and more to our dealers? We listened. So while our show has been a success for 20 years, we decided to advance to something better – a program that replaces the cost and inconvenience of attending the show with a much more powerful lineup of new products, additional discounts, and incentives.” Through the www.coastdistribution.com web site, dealers can access new product information, check out a full range of vendor opportunities, see special product flyers and promotions, review program benefits, dating, plan-o-grams, and product order forms. Dealers can take advantage of the program at their convenience, from the comfort of their home or place of business, with no travel time, no down time, no worry about leaving the store short handed; no stress. Central to the program is the new Supplier Showcase, where participating suppliers can show their products any way they prefer, from .PDF brochures to animation, and full video. “Imagine a vendor being able to show off their products when they are at their best, in their preferred setting, without interruption, and to a much bigger group of dealers” said Musbach. “In addition to being more effective, when the long-term cost savings are passed on to the dealer, everyone benefits.” For more information, visit the Coast website www.coastdistribution.com, or call your local Coast representative for a demo.

Morgan Hill, CA, December 2007 – Husky Towing Products introduces a new brake controller to its line of brake control products. The next generation Siberian has all of the basic function of Husky’s Excursion controller but takes braking control to the next level with enhanced features and a sleek new styling. The new features include User Presets, exclusive Pressure Sensitive Manual Braking, Enhanced Display graphics, and Soft-touch Controls. The User Preset feature allows drivers to save their brake controller settings (Load Level and Output Gain) to one of four memory positions. The preset function is particularly convenient when: (1) the vehicle/trailer has multiple operators who prefer slightly different settings; (2) the operator has multiple trailers; (3) the operator tows a trailer that requires different settings when it is loaded/unloaded; (4) the operator encounters any combination of these scenarios. The exclusive Pressure Sensitive Switch for manual trailer brake activation replaces the manual sliding lever common to other controllers. It allows the operator more finite control over the power being applied to the trailer brakes. The harder the button is pushed, the more power is applied. An Enhanced Display Panel has been designed to support the Siberian’s advanced functions. Four green LED lights indicate the operator’s preset selections while a segmented LED shows the pressure being applied by the manual braking switch. Two Soft-touch Controls replace a rotary knob to control Output Gain adjustments for Gain Increase (+) and for Gain Decrease (-). The sleek compact styling of the Siberian makes it easily mounted to more locations inside the vehicle. It sports an integrated harness connector within its case for added plug-and-play convenience. A mating harness is also supplied with the controller, as are a custom slide-in mounting bracket, hardware and easy-to-follow installation instructions. A 30-amp circuit breaker (purchased separately), may be required for some vehicles. Inherent to the new Siberian controller are technologies that made Husky’s original Excursion popular among trailer operators, including patented dual-axis accelerometer technology, which continually recognizes varying road terrain changes and senses the vehicle’s rate of deceleration to apply the correct amount of braking force at precise intervals for a smooth and seamless stop. “Husky Towing Products is committed to continually providing innovative products to our customers,” says Bryan Fletcher, Senior VP, Husky Towing Products. “With our new Siberian brake controller we feel that we have a product that represents trailer braking at its finest.” Designed for light- to heavy-duty applications (one to four axle trailers) with 2, 4, 6 or 8 brake systems, the Siberian features four easily adjustable power level settings. Each level increases the initial power curve to the trailer brakes, making the controller fully adjustable for progressively heavier loads. The new Siberian also incorporates polarity protection, which means that the control will not be destroyed in the event the power and ground wires are connected backwards. The unit creates no output interference with vehicle electrical systems, cruise control systems or anti-lock brakes. The new Siberian is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Husky Towing Products designs, manufactures and distributes a complete line of hitches, electrical products, and accessories for the Towing Industry. We are committed to providing our customers with innovative products and excellent technical and customer support. Husky Towing products are distributed throughout North America.

This is more than enough power to run a 13,500 BTU air conditioning unit on an RV, with power to spare for other uses. “Connecting two smaller generators together instead of using one large generator makes transportation and storage convenient,” says Stephan Lussier, VP of Sales and Marketing. “Each compact IG2000P weighs only 48.5 lbs, has a handle for easy lifting, and with overall dimensions of only 20.2 x 11.7 x16.8 in., can be stored easily. In addition, having two smaller generators means you can use just one for powering lights or small electrical appliances when necessary, making them more versatile than using one larger unit.” The IG2000P provides clean, quiet portable power and delivers a stable, pure sine wave AC output reliable enough to power even the most sensitive electronic equipment. The IG2000P produces a maximum output of 2.0kVA and a rated output of 1.6kVA.
