I had a puzzling experience with my Ford C-Max Energi toad on the last day of my return trip from Yellowstone to Texas yesterday. After five hours on the road through the Texas heat (mid-to-upper 90s), we parked in a cement (i.e., not blacktop) mall...
I just drove this route, the "Million Dollar Highway" (which seems like a bargain) yesterday morning. There are a few short sections where you want to take it extra slow so that you don't add to your passengers' laundry (or your own), but it was so w...
This is a word of warning especially for those who have motorhomes with bunk beds with lights on the wall. Keep pillows and other items away from the 12V lights or they will melt and could cause a fire. One of my kids had the light on, then leaned a ...
I'm getting ready to tow my 2013 Ford C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid on its first long trip. I've left it in Accessory mode (press Start button once without depressing the brake pedal) on my very short trips, but I've seen one post on another forum sugg...

How do they transport them from the Ford plant to the RV manufacturers? Are they stacked on a flatbed trailer, or do they hire a bunch of drivers to hop on the boxes and drive them there?
Well, this is embarrassing. When I did a quick subtraction of odometer readings after noticing there was even a difference, I got 12 miles, but after looking at my iPhone photos (I took pictures of the dash display since I didn't have a pen handy), I...
