Michael, you are right on with the cold weather information.
I have slept in my coach in 20 below zero temperture at a Green Bay football game and my generator started with no problem using the glow plug.
There is no doubt that my coach engine will not start in temperatures below 40. With the generator running and the engine heater on mine will start very easy after about 2 hours.
My coach is probably one of the most used in extremly cold temperaturs and it is not a problem if you think about what you are doing.
In september of each year the guy who works on my coach in minnesota puts a quart of alcohol in all my air tanks because I did have a brake line freeze up in santa fe about 5 years ago.
Most of the time when sleeping at night in a Wallmart or rest area I leave my generator all night long, to keep heat in my lower water compartment bay.
Wally
