ATV Safety is paramount considering the high-performance machines on the market today. To illustrate this point let me tell you of a story that I witnessed recently. I was RV'ing and had stopped at a Wal-Mart near a huge open space, nothing around really and there was about 100-miles of open space in one direction. You could literally ride your ATV until you ran out of gas I guess. Well apparently there is an area not to far from that local Wal-Mart where all the ATVs like to meet. It is indeed a good location where no one would complain about the dust or the noise and so everyone is looking to have a good time. Well all except one person who had to be airlifted out of there and I cannot imagine...

Sod cutter rental may be just the step you need to take in order to start that garden or finish re-landscaping your yard.

It isn't surprising that carport kits are a popular option in the U.S. For a long time, America has, on average, had at least two cars per household. We managed to avoid this statistic for years by having just one car, and didn't get a second car until my daughter turned 16, and spent her hard earned cash of $1000 on a car that was as old as she was. It wasn't too much later that my husband got a motorcycle, after all, you have to do something like that when you turn 40! We also had a little utility trailer that sat at the side of the driveway. In a few short years, we had joined the ranks of millions of Americans and had accumulated extra vehicles. The 1970's house we were living in had a two car...

A robber could very easily smash one of the trailers windows, grab the valuable item, and run off before the owners of the vehicle even realize...

What evolved was due to demand for creature comfort and convenience. Probably the first items to go electric were the power windows and door locks, generally beginning in the mid 1960's. Although having a lot of wiring and crude motors by today's standards, these systems were still fairly basic having switches, motors and wiring to connect them together. Easy to diagnose.

During the spring these great animals live up among the snow-capped peaks, eating grass and roots and minding their own business. Then, in late July, they drift down to the banks of the streams, where the salmon are madly spawning, to...

No one knows who exactly built the first choppers, but it is generally agreed upon that they were built by soldiers returning home from WWII. Soldiers who had ridden bikes in Europe found that the Harleys being produced in the US were slow and bulky, something that is still true today. In an effort to lighten these bikes up the riders started to remove unnecessary parts and "bob" the fenders. Had the European motorcycles been readily available in America I believe that these bikers might have abandoned Harley right then and we would have a completely different biker scene than what we have today. These early modified bikes were called Bobbers and the term Choppers actually didn't get popular until...

Ever wonder why you take your RV out of storage after a few weeks and find that the batteries are deader than a door nail? You went through your pre-storage checklist and made sure all breakers and lights were off but your batteries are still DOA. You even plugged in the RV and charged the battery for a few days to make sure it was topped up before storage. What's going on? Almost every RV has some sort of parasitic current draw on the 12-volt electrical system. The most likely offenders are the LP gas detector, the refrigerator, and the radio. Even an inverter, although switched off, can have a small current draw. Over time, these seemingly harmless draws can eventually bring even the largest of...

Just when I thought we thoroughly covered RV electrical systems I get another good question about something I failed to discuss in my previous articles. I received one of these good questions the other day and thought there would be many other RVers who would like to hear the answer. Question: In one of your previous articles you list the RV converter as drawing 5 amps. Since, I believe, the converter is operating any time you plug into a 120 volt AC system (30 Amp), does this mean that in reality you only have 25 amps to work with (30 minus 5 = 25, and not considering clock draws, etc.)? I am developing an electric amp chart to hang inside a cabinet and I need to resolve this question as this would...
