Abstract: An electrically operated drain valve for recreational vehicles economically fabricated primarily of synthetic plastic parts which is relatively free of corrosion at critical areas and readily retrofitted to existing recreational vehicle drain systems. A housing containing a geared reversible electric motor operating a linear displaceable rack associated with the drain valve operator permits the drain valve to be displaced between open and closed positions.
Abstract: A combination satellite television signal receiving antenna and a UHF/VHF antenna, particularly suitable for use with recreational vehicles. The satellite antenna is mounted for both horizontal and vertical adjustment having a circular periphery and the UHF/VHF dipole antenna is attached thereto and is of an arcuate configuration defining a portion of a circle concentric to the satellite receiving antenna dish configuration. The television and UHF/VHF antenna are mounted for simultaneous adjustment.
Abstract: A portable tank particularly suitable for handling recreational vehicle liquid waste of relatively large capacity, i.e. 30 gallons, including a receptacle formed of a synthetic plastic material having wheels mounted upon one end of the receptacle and a handle support is molded into the lower region of the receptacle telescopingly receiving an extendable and retractable handle. The outer end of the handle telescopingly receives a handle extension having a grip mounted thereon for manually handling the tank, or attachment to a vehicle trailer hitch.
Abstract: The invention pertains to an extendable directionally adjusted dipole antenna particularly suitable for use with recreational vehicles. The antenna includes a vertical column having an extendable dipole arrangement at its upper end utilizing flexible actuators associated with a pair of reels whereby the actuators and associated telescoping antenna assemblies are simultaneously extended and retracted. An operating shaft for rotating the reels extends through the column and either manual or electric means rotate the shaft. The column is rotatable for directional adjustment, and under manual control the shaft extends through the vehicle roof permitting interior adjustments.
