Not So Roughing It
Outdoor living is acquiring more and more indoor accouterments. Among the luxurious or merely practical innovations that are available to vacationers this season:
>The trailer subculture has evolved a bullet-shaped camper that is bidding to become the Cadillac of recreational vehicles. The air-conditioned, 25-ft.-long Discoverer, built by Detroit's Rectrans Inc., sells for $16,000, features a pile-carpeted living room with built-in television and stereo, a wood-paneled bedroom and a bathroom complete with toilet, shower, sink, closet and medicine chest. The kitchen boasts a refrigerator-freezer, stove, roomy cabinets and sink. So far, a swimming pool is not available as an accessory.
> For campers, yachtsmen, private-airplane pilots and snowmobilers, a company named Relevant Products Inc. of Louisville has come up with the Safe-T-Cell, a compact 2-lb. super-first-aid kit. Crammed into a sturdy polyethylene cylinder are tourniquets, bandages, antiseptics, adhesive tape, aspirin, rescue blanket, waterproof matches, nylon cord, a compass and even chocolate. Marine, aircraft and camper versions sell for $13.95; a more elaborate marine model, which also contains a mouth-to-mouth resuscitator, goes for $17.95.
