Ear plugs are cheap and effectiveRockaway said:Great info. I appreciate your willingness to give a few cold nights a try. I have slept many nights in mine and found the heater fan noise is very tolerable. Although my nights were not as cold as yours. I wish you the best for your upcoming nights with your wife in Jan.
Phil, I never got an update on your trip through WA/ID/MT.Wallowa said:Pat...good download of information...thanks...your '16 Granby has the thermostat mounted differently than my '16 Hawk; mine is on top of the left cabinet near front wall and 10" from bed...I can lean out and turn it off or on....
Forgot about flush water in porta-potty [yes, a wife convenience, I always prefer outside]...will add something to prevent it from freezing, perhaps the deodorizer tabs will do that...
Coffee and chocolate = two essential food groups...I carry a Jetboil, in case I can't get the top up or run out of propane...morning coffee is not an optional item, it is a life giving start to each day!
Hope for snow...entire month of February I plan to drag my Hawk across Washington, Idaho, Montana skiing...all water drained...7 gallon water jug with great spigot..forget getting a shower, where can I wax my skis?
Oh, I carry a dozen or more 24 hour chemical heat packets....just in case...not for me, for the coffee water.

Ps...If you see a gray '05 Tundra / '16 Hawk with a GD sticker on rear window...stop by; no mask required.

We have many camping traits in common i.e. water/showers/ski waxing/coffee. We're headed to Mission Ridge and White Pass this coming Sunday-Weds. Have skied Mission many times but will be the first time for White Pass.

Agreed, I wouldn't try to use the water system in sub-zero (F) temperatures either.Wallowa said:Agree with Rando's assessment...but for me I need to prepare for sub-zero temps not just into the teens...again 24/7 even when driving to different locations..hence why I also have a heated BB battery so the solar can charge it regardless of how low the temp.
All about assumption of risk....
