An update, of sorts.

 New AC unit

Yep, I have been a little on on the slack side of late that is due in part to COVID and work has been pretty steady of late. As for the RV side of things, we finally managed to get the air conditioner unit replaced. The main issue we encountered was being in a fairly northern regional part of Alberta, our selection of RV repair businesses is fairly limited. We originally were going to pay a repairer to come from Grande Prairie, Alberta. A mere 5 hour round trip to inspect the unit.

As painful as it was to pack up everything and take the 5th wheel into Peace River, It's done! Well it only took 16 months and best of all it's just in time for winter.


A heated shelter for Winter

As we had decided to stay here for the winter as going back to Southern British Columbia was not a financially viable option we are going to winter in Peace River, but were not doing this outside, oh no. We're going to survive the winter in a purpose built heated shed. 



The shed has a little private back yard with outdoor setting and ofcourse a fire pit.



The purpose built shed has in-floor heating and full hookup. The shed has windows it's just a pity that they don't really lineup with the windows in our RV. The black PVC pipe hanging from the roof is so that tank vents can be run through to the main plumbing vent.



The boiler for the heated shed heats the floor to the point that our pets like to sleep outside the RV. While the shed is more expensive than our previous 30 amp site we figured that for the planned one winter in Northern Alberta it works out cheaper in the long run than insulating, skirting and using copious amounts of propane.

Backing into the shed.
