That's very good to know, Thanks! I'll focus my efforts on a camper then. I've heard the horror storries of trailers tipping over along hurricane alley though i'm not sure how true they are. I will be installing a block heater as well as a second batter as a sure start but I hadn't thought of a generator for the block heater, Thanks again! The island is gorgeous but I love the north, I'm really looking forward to showing my girlfriend a blizzard lol. We have ~1 month so our schedule is pretty flexible but I see your point. We'll stay in touch and if the stars allign and we're going at the same time I'd appreciate the added security of fellow travellers. My F250 is gas so with some conditioner it should run fine in the cold weather. I think.
