Never stated that they don't. Also, I prefer not being called, "Karen".

The average temperaure in Eagle-Vail in January is 20F for the Airport Rental Car EV recharging. That includes the highs and lows. Our diurnal temperature variations can be quite substantial in the Rockies. Sometimes things just don't work in subzero temperatures including EV and ICE cars...

For our Eagle-Vail Airport in Colorado Hertz is waiving the car rental shop's requirement for a 100% EV full charge. Usually the new rental car customers arrive on the same plane that the previous customers are departing on. Due to our region's high volume of ski and mountain resort tourism...

I was 12 years old in 1969 when I joined the Boy Scouts. Made Eagle Scout and avoided drugs. Never heard of Woodstock until much later having been raised in Southern California. That same year my Dad towed a TT for camping. He took us to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado from our home with...

A decade old post update... If the morbid calculations are correct, then 1/3 of the US Baby Boomer Generation have passed away.

Yes, it has a self heated battery. I use AGM batteries here in our RV's. 1/2 of the year the temperatures get to 32F and below. Seldom in winter it's ever above 32F during the entire day. I do have a few lithium batteries for our DeWalt power tools and unfortunately for both charging and...

Surprisingly it's -4F chargeable for the one pictured below. 20Ah isn't much though, but there's probably some with a higher Ah. https://blog.delcity.net/relions-lithium-batteries-for-cold-weather-performance/

Interesting that Colorado's average is 20.2 MPH on this analysis. We have a south to north wind. When our travel trailers are stored they're parked on the north side up against a pole barn with the trailer stabilizers down. Wind gusts can be very strong coming down the mountain. My worry is...

Look for high wind warnings. Currently Wyoming on I-80 has this...

We drive through towing in Wyoming often where 25 MPH winds are safe to drive since that's near the state's average wind speed. "With an average wind speed of 21.9 miles per hour, Alaska ranks as the country's windiest state, but Wyoming is right behind at an average wind speed of 21.5 mph...

There are plenty of videos showing that the undiluted RV antifreeze will freeze solid in an unopened 1 gallon bottle at well below freezing temperatures. It won't burst the pipes until -50F or -100F depending on the type, so they claim. The problem with weather forecasts are they can be far...

SPF spray... According to the Mayo Clinic, "Don't expose your sunscreen to extreme heat or cold. "Because if sunscreen gets overheated or it freezes, the chemicals are inactivated and no longer effective," says Dr. Davis." I wouldn't worry about the grease, oil, and lubricants. Nothing goes...

That's why I only purchase the steel boxed utility/garage fan forced heaters equipped with steel fans. The cheap plastic fan electric heaters don't last. Have five (5) of the 1500W electric utility heaters available for our power outages. With our home and TT generators after the engineered...

Yes, but the square feet claimed heated which is stated on the boxes of different manufacturers' 1500W heaters can range from 100 to 2,000 ("In ideal conditions").
