RV Accessory "The Convertible

Tailgate Cargo Box - the Hottest New Truck/SUV and RV Accessory Source: Tailgate Cargo Box, LLC Tailgate Cargo Box - the Hottest New Truck/SUV and RV Accessory "The Convertible Box" Now Available GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 30, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tailgate Cargo Box, LLC announces the launch of the company's patent-pending convertible box. A first of its kind, the Tailgate Cargo Box(TM) provides practical storage and transforms into two durable tables. It's perfect for any occasion. The Tailgate Cargo Box attaches to a standard two-inch receiver hitch and is comprised of an excess cargo carrier and cargo box. The Carrier is made of steel and can be used separate from the box. The Box is made of aluminum and is clear powder coated to help prevent weathering. The Box locks into the cargo carrier for secure transporting. "This product has so many uses for any type of event. It's multi-versatile -- cargo box, carrier, tables and bench, all in one, saves space and time with no tools required," said Daniel Morris, founder of Tailgate Cargo Box. "With the popularity of tailgating, this product simplifies the tailgating experience. It's not just for the tailgater, this box can be used by everyone from campers, hunters, construction workers, exhibitors at trade shows, to the armed forces." The box is great for carrying collapsible chairs, coolers, tents, tools, luggage, etc. Tailgate Cargo Box has a smooth finish which allows you to personalize your box with your favorite team or company logo. The Tailgate Cargo Box is simply an amazing product. You have to see it to believe it! Daniel Morris created TCB after spending countless tailgating Saturdays packing and unpacking his truck. Carrying tables, chairs, coolers and other items for tailgating simply took up all our space. There had to be a way to eliminate packing/unpacking time and save space. Well, we didn't eliminate any items, but created more space. Plus when you are finished tailgating, working, or camping, the box can be removed from the carrier and stored as is, ready for the next event. According to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), rising truck and sport-utility sales (SUV sales passed autos sales in 2002) have been accompanied by booming sales of aftermarket components. This trend, accompanied by record-breaking attendance at events such as college football games, validates the ever-increasing truck/SUV enthusiast population. Tailgate Cargo Box will ideally complement the needs of the truck/SUV and RV community who desires a solution to excess cargo needs with added versatility. The Tailgate Cargo Box is now available and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer at www.tailgatecargobox.com . About SEMA SEMA represents the $29 billion specialty automotive industry. Founded in 1963, the trade association has more than 5,200 member companies.

Mobile Home Parks Who is protected by the mobile home park laws? This section applies to you if you own your mobile home and rent a lot in a mobile home park. Also, these online handbook sections apply to you: Tips Before You Rent Types of Rental Agreements Fee for late payment of rent General Assistance Discrimination If you rent a mobile home, you have the same rights as a tenant in an apartment building or house. Read the earlier sections of this online handbook, which apply to you. To read about your security deposit, see below . If you own your mobile home and rent the land it sits on but not in a mobile home park , you should talk to a lawyer if you have a problem. (Only some parts of this Handbook apply to you.) What is a mobile home park? A mobile home park is a piece of land that has, or is laid out to have, two or more mobile homes on it. How much can I be charged for a security deposit and how do I get it back? The Security Deposit section applies to you, with these exceptions: the park owner may charge up to 3 times the monthly rent for a security deposit the park owner must pay you 4% annual interest when he returns the deposit Read the Security Deposit section to find out how to get your deposit back if the park owner refuses. What kind of fees can I be charged? The park owner may charge fees. Fees may include rent, utilities, incidental service charges, security deposit and an entrance fee. Before you move into the park, the park owner must explain all fees to you in writing. Before increasing any fees, he must give all tenants at least 30 days written notice. If you are moving into a mobile home that is already in the park, the park owner cannot charge you more than 2 times the monthly rent for an entrance fee. The park owner cannot require you to buy your oil or bottled gas from him. He cannot choose your dealer; that is your choice. The park owner cannot require you to buy from him any underskirting, equipment for tying down mobile homes or any other equipment. Park Rules What kind of rules can the park owner have? The rules must be reasonably related to keeping order and peace in the mobile home park. All park rules must be fair and reasonable. A rule is presumed to be unfair if it does not apply to all park tenants. (However, the park owner may be able to prove that a non-uniform rule is fair, if he has a compelling reason for the rule.) The park owner must give all tenants at least 30 days notice of any rule change before it takes effect. These rules are not legal and a park owner cannot enforce them: A rule that says the park owner is not responsible for his own negligence A rule that says you have to pay the park owner's legal fees (in an eviction, for example) A rule that says you must give the park owner a lien on your property if you owe him money A rule that gives up your right to challenge the fairness of any park rule or any part of your lease or rental agreement How do I find out what the park rules are? Before you sign an agreement to rent, the park owner must give you: a copy of the mobile home park rules and copy of the Maine mobile home park laws Eviction Does the park owner have to have a reason to evict me? Yes. He must have a reason and he must be able to prove it in court. His reason must be on this list. (These rules apply to you, all household members and your guests.) 1) You did not pay rent, utility charges or reasonable service charges. You will not be evicted if you pay the amount you owe plus a fee before the end of the notice period. The notice must give you at least 30 days. The fee is 5% of what you owe, up to a maximum of $5.00. (It is unclear how the new rule on interest charges will intersect with this old $5 fee rule. Call Pine Tree if you need advice on this issue.) 2) You broke a mobile home park law. Before giving you an eviction notice, the park owner must tell you in writing what law you have broken and give you a reasonable chance to comply. 3) You broke a reasonable park rule. (See section on Park Rules ) Before giving you an eviction notice, the park owner must tell you in writing what rule you have broken and give you a reasonable chance to comply. 4) You violated Paragraph 1, 2 or 3 above three times within 12 months. After 3 chances within a one year period, you can be evicted even if you corrected all three violations. 5) You damaged the property in some way. "Damage" does not include "normal wear and tear." Normal wear and tear is what happens to property over time from normal use. 6) You repeatedly disturbed the peace and quiet or safety of other tenants. 7) You violated a term of your written lease which the lease says you can be evicted for. Read your lease before you sign! 8) The park is condemned or changed to some other use. Before evicting you for "change of use," the park owner must have told you about this when you moved in or must give you a one year written notice. 9) If the park owner wants to evict you because he plans to renovate the park, he must give you between 6 months to 12 months notice. He may also have to pay for your moving costs. Exceptions: If there is a serious problem that is dangerous for tenants, the park owner can evict you "temporarily" with a shorter notice, if he pays your costs. If it is not an emergency, he can give a 30 day written notice to "temporarily" evict, if he pays your costs. If the government orders the park owner to do a major renovation that requires evictions, the park owner can give a shorter notice. Note: If you are being evicted for reason #9 above, talk to a lawyer or Pine Tree Legal . What kind of notice do I get? Before taking you to court to get an eviction order, the park owner must give you a written notice to quit. The notice must: be in writing state the reasons for the eviction give you 45 days before your tenancy ends Note: The notice period is different in some cases, like for nonpayment of rent (30 days). To find out these exceptions, read the list 1-9 above. The park owner, or his agent, must give this notice to you in person. Exception: He can send the notice by mail and leave a copy at your home if he has tried for 3 days to serve you in person and has not been able to find you. He must have a witness. If someone has a lien on your mobile home (such as a seller to whom you are still making payments), the park owner may also notify the lien holder of the eviction. If your contract with the lien holder allows it, she may try to repossess your home to protect her legal interest in the property. Get legal advice. What happens at the end of the notice period? If you have not moved and the park owner still wants to evict you, she must file a complaint in District Court asking the court to allow the eviction. This is called a "Forcible Entry and Detainer" action. A deputy sheriff will serve you with a copy of the complaint and a court summons. The summons will tell you the date and time of the court hearing. At the hearing, the judge will listen to both sides. If the judge finds that the park owner did not follow all of the notice rules or did not prove one of the reasons for eviction listed above, the judge will dismiss the case and you will not be evicted. But if the park owner gets the eviction order from the court, she can then ask the Sheriff's Department to evict you and your family and to remove your mobile home from the lot. Talk to a lawyer right away if you get a notice to quit or a court complaint and summons. What if the park owner is trying to evict me because I complained, because I am in a tenant group, or for some other unfair reason? The Court should not evict you if you prove that the park owner's main reason for trying to evict you is that: 1) You helped to start a tenant's organization or you belong to a tenant's organization; or 2) You have complained about the park owner's violations of mobile home park laws. If you think that the park owner is trying to evict you because you complained about unsafe conditions in the park, read the section above on Retaliation Defense . This defense to eviction may apply to you. If you believe that the park owner is illegally discriminating against you because of your: race color sex sexual orientation physical or mental impairment religion ancestry or national origin getting welfare being a single parent, being pregnant or having children read the Discrimination section. What if I refused to pay rent because of bad living conditions in the park? If the park owner is trying to evict you because you owe rent and there are unsafe living conditions in the park, you may have a good defense to the eviction. Read the section "Unsafe or unfit housing defense" . These rules also apply to mobile home park tenants. In your case, the problem might be dangerous outside wiring or unsanitary septic system, instead of lack of heat. Additional rule for mobile home parks: You must have given the park owner or his agent notice of the problem when your rent was paid up. Unsafe or Unfit Conditions What areas must the park owner take care of? A park owner must promise that the space he rents and its facilities are "fit for habitation." This means that they are safe and healthy. For example, if your septic system backs up or your park road becomes impassable, the park owner must fix the problems. On the other hand, you must fix problems inside your home, unless they were caused by the park owner. What if the park facilities are unsafe or unhealthy? You can file a court action against the park owner. Before going to court you should take these steps: Talk with the park owner or manager about the problem. Talk with other tenants about the problem and meet as a group with the owner or manager. Contact the local code enforcement officer, plumbing inspector or fire chief and ask for an inspection. Contact the Maine Manufactured Housing Board. 35 State House Station Augusta, ME 04333 Phone: 624-8612 TTY: 624-8563 If you still cannot resolve the problem, talk to a lawyer or Pine Tree Legal before going to court. Also, read the section about suing your landlord in court . The procedures and remedies are very similar. What happens if I am forced to leave my mobile home during repairs? If you must leave for a short time so things can be fixed, the park owner cannot charge you any rent until you move back in. If the owner offers you a reasonable place to stay, then the court will not order the park owner to pay for your costs of staying somewhere else. Sale of Your Mobile Home Can the park owner interfere if I want to sell my mobile home? No. The park owner cannot charge you a fee for selling, unless you asked him to sell it for you and signed a contract agreeing to pay him. The park owner cannot force you to hire him as your sales agent. The park owner cannot restrict any advertising you do, as long as it is reasonable. You must tell the park owner before you put up any "For Sale" signs in the park. If your mobile home was built before June 15, 1976, the park owner can require you to show that it meets the state standards. If the buyer plans to stay in the park, he should make sure that the park owner will accept him as a tenant. He can back out of a sale agreement within the first 30 days if the park owner does not agree to rent the lot to him. He can also back out of the deal if the park owner wants the home removed because it does not meet state or park standards. The park owner cannot require removal because of park standards unless these standards are clearly stated in the park rules and are reasonable. Sale of Mobile Home Park Does the park owner have to let me know if he is selling the park? Yes, in most cases. General rule : The park owner must give you and all other tenants 45 days written notice of his intent to sell. During the 45 days, he cannot contract to sell the park. Exception : The park owner does not have to give the 45 day notice if the buyer's deed says that he cannot change the use of the park for two years after he buys it. This deed restriction must also say that tenants have the right to enforce it. What if the new owner tries to close the park anyway? You can sue the new owner in Superior Court and ask the judge to order the buyer to keep renting the lots for at least two years. You can also make a money claim for any damages you have suffered. You can sue alone or as a group of tenants or as a tenant association. If you have a lawyer, the judge can order the park owner to pay your lawyer fees if you win.
