    If you drove a EV truck, with a camper top

    I figure this is some kind of trick question but it went right over my head. :oops:

    Ford Takes @ $20 BILLION ‘Write Down’ and Dumps the EV F-150 Lightning

    I'm sorry but you are in my lane now and you are just wrong. I realize I'm wasting time. I guess you have some expertise in vintage Chevys so think how you would respond if some guy on the internet posted they were all built in Brazil or some other foolishness. Over and out. :rolleyes:

    Nope. If it worked like that we'd still be buying unleaded gas, be addicted to a pack a day and selecting a cute 16 year old at our local bordello.

    Human nature is what it is, I too own both a truck and a hybrid. Nevertheless, promoting EVs is a sound and appropriate policy of the gov't. The need for an alternative to fossil fuel isn't going away. It's also important not to confuse our governmental system with economics. We are a...

    Yes, I'm aware of your position but AFAIK nobody in the US has been forced to choose an EV. ;) Unfortunately the science that drives the move from fossil fuels is still there, even if we choose to ignore it. US auto makers will just have to catch up when our current situation passes.

    Adventure Tool Company's "RhinoRide60" Land Cruiser: Part 2 (2023)

    Love the TR6! Mine was BRG. Bought it 10/76, next to the last one the dealer in Richmond VA got. Ownership came with issues as well as pleasures but it's the only car I ever dreamed about after it was gone.

    Given the current political climate (pun intended) you can't fault a US auto maker from moving away from EVs. Development will continue in the rest of the world so they can license or copy the tech when the time is right. Just a bump in the road.

    Curious about your thoughts???

    I used to enjoy driving top down. In my old age I prefer a roof, windows and a/c or heat, as appropriate.

    Condensation in campers and how to avoid it!

    As pointed out in post #7, whatever the fuel source, a proper heater will draw and contain air from the outside for combustion and exhaust it to the outside. Professionally designed RV heaters work like this. It should be common sense but bears repeating when folks consider jury rigging their own.
