As regards safety & security: I couldn't help notice that in the video you referenced, when his motorhome was attacked he was "free camping". He was "free camping" in the sense that he had parked on a city street, where he didn't have to pay for the privilege. Further along he realizes that it...

I use Espar for heating in m y TC,very efficient and low power consumption..didnt know that one can heat drinking water with these???

I used to sleep in a cab of my truck first before getting a cap,although this was just one trip cross country.. With a cap on it was ok right down to freezing with a heavy duty sleeping bag eventualy built a TC from plywood and epoxy insulated with two inches of hard board insulation,put in...

I used to live in Edmonton Alberta for many years and never bothered pluging the block heater in winter as my 08 Silverado started just fine even in coldest temps on first click,,use 5w30 regular oil..those new engines are just that good..with one coil on each cylinder it has plenty of firepower...
