The Light Bull Bike Rack
I don’t often feature new products that are being crowdfunded, but this lightweight bike rack looks like a great solution for anyone living in a campervan or RV who might need to occasionally store their bike rack inside of their vehicle for safety. The Light Bull takes up a diminutive amount of space but promises a secure and rigid mounting solution for up to two bicycles. As a bonus, at 18 pounds, it weighs less than half of what most hitch-mounted bicycle racks weigh.

Ai13 Billet Products Pax Fuel Nozzle
Ai13 got its start in the oil and gas industry, but due to challenging economic conditions, the company changed its focus to off-road vehicle equipment. Their flexible Pax fuel nozzle, which is a fan favorite, adds function to your Rotopax fuel storage containers, allowing you to easily pour fuel into your vehicle or another container. When not in use, flip the Pax nozzle around and store it inside your Rotopax container like you normally would with the original Rotopax nozzle. Each nozzle assembly includes an engraved aluminum end seal cap.
