5 Years of living with a husky! Beast of burden? You decide!

On Aug 08th of 2015 we took a chance to bring home a rescue husky who was called Kaliki. One of the best things we ever did. Is he a lot of work? YES! Is he worth every moment of it Yes! (Now you know this is his Mommy talking right!) There have been some challenges but thankfully I married the dog whisper himself so together we have adapted to this new family. We hope you enjoy our boy as much as we do and we’d love to hear about you and your fur babies so please tell us about them.

This time we are in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the final stomping ground of John Chapman, AKA Johnny Appleseed. And while General Wayne is credited with the City name after conquering the native american Miami Indians tribe ( then known by the name Kekionga), the kind-hearted Johnny Appleseed enjoyed the company of everyone, including the Indians, all of God’s creatures and his fellow white man whom he shared both sermons as well as apple seeds to grow nourishing fruit trees.

While passing through Reno, Nevada, nearby Scheels Sporting Goods store has fantastic natural life animal displays – some reaching up like a real mountain with hundreds of taxidermy wildlife portrayed in their habitat. So needless to say, if you are looking to buy anything outdoor and sporting goods related, look for it at Scheels – or at least enjoy a wonderful site-seeing experience…but don’t be surprised if you wind up spending more here than the nearby Casinos!

Overview, Easy DIY Affordable 2KW Aims Inverter Installation

If you have a heavy duty alternator in your RV, you may wish to get 2,000 watts of “free power” when you’re driving down the road (or idling). First off, layout the design with all your accessories. I decided to include both a DC circuit breaker and a battery cut off (on/off) switch between the battery and the Aims Inverter. In this lesson, we will cut 200 amp copper cable, crimp and solder cables, install the AIMS inverter, route cabling, etc.

cTv RV Life, Secrets to Successful Microwave Oven Replacement, Part 2

Here’s our secret steps to successfully install your new microwave oven (and discover a few gotchas along the way). So with our RV microwave oven successfully removed (WHEW), it’s time to begin the installation process. First we remove the built-in oven from the case and housing, then make “adjustments” to adapt the new Panasonic microwave oven to (hopefully) fit the old frame chassis and external case. But wait, there’s more! Finally, it’s time to remount the housed microwave oven assembly back in the RV, connect power, figure out what to do with the wires that formerly went to the fans and hood lights, etc, etc. And what could possibly go wrong with the installation, you ask? Stay tuned for more California Travel Videos fun!
