It has been called the “new cornhole,” so you might see QB54 at your next tailgate party. The outdoor football game, the invention of two brothers from New Jersey, consists of two foldable lawn chairs that have “touchdown baskets” (that look like basketball nets) in the bottom of each seat. Yellow PVC goalposts attach to the chairs’ backs. With the chairs set about 40 feet apart, the goal is to toss the provided football into the basket, and then kick an extra point through the goalposts. When you’re not playing, the provided seat covers allow you to sit in the chairs. The set comes with a carrying bag. The suggested price of QB54 is $99.54. Team Silva Enterprises LLC |

At a campsite that lacked enough table space, Aaron Visger sat in a camp chair and tried to cut a steak on a paper plate in his lap. From that frustrating experience, the idea for Redi-Tray was born. The tabletop accessory creates a stable surface for dining or for holding items such as a laptop computer. Redi-Tray attaches to most quad-style and director-style chairs. The “gator teeth” locking system and mounting bracket allow Redi-Tray to attach to most poles or railings. The tray, which is removable, can be adjusted for desired height and tilt angle. The tray is 15.8 inches by 10 inches, and the capacity is 10 pounds. Redi-Tray’s suggested retail price is $24.99. Kamp-Rite USA |

When you’re enjoying the outdoors, you can’t always find a flat surface to set up a table. The TailGater Tire Table is stable regardless of ground conditions, because it relies on a vehicle tire for its primary support. A retractable leg bolsters the table even more. The table, which weighs just under 12 pounds, fits most tire sizes 14 inches and up. (It may not fit if the fender is extremely close to the tire). It is 29 inches long, 23 inches wide, and 1.5 inches thick. The steel table has a powder-coated finish. No tools are required for installation. To receive a 20 percent discount off the regular price of $139.95, email info@tailgatertiretable.com and identify yourself as an FMCA member. TailGater Tire Table |

A rolled curb in front of your home’s driveway can give your motorhome a jolt every time you drive over it. And that can cause wear and tear on the suspension and steering components (not to mention passengers). Curbcushion is a ramp that helps minimize jarring and bouncing by creating a smooth transition between the road and the driveway. Curbcushion consists of recycled, heavy-duty rubber; wood planks; and fastening hardware. Three sections, each 4 feet long and 20 inches wide, fasten together to create a 12-foot-by-20 inch span. Installation takes 30 minutes. The design is such that water flows through, and street sweepers do not affect the ramp. The suggested price is $149.95. If a wider ramp is needed, additional 4-foot sections can be purchased. Smart Solutions |
