Back on track here, all good recommendations, dont fret on the oil ALHTOUGH it would be a good time to change to synth for this trip alone.
I use an outdoor timer for my block heater. Only needs 3 hrs or so. 0430 hrs for a 0800 start. Army wool blanket and a sidearm. Well, ok, for you, always have a warm blanket just in case. Snow/ice scraper if its not part of the kit where you are. I don;t recall NC boys carrying them! |

http://store.schumachermart.com/se-1-12s.html I have a 3-way splitter under the hood feeding the charger, the block heater, and a battery heating pad. They are all feed from a plug at the front bumper so I can plug in everything at once. |

The battery heater is a great idea as well. Here is one on ebay. I would assume they would be in the same price range at the local Farm Supply store. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370205859509&crlp=1_263602_263622&ff4=263602_263622&viewitem=&guid=bad0336f1240a02652b0b460ffe9bc55&rvr_id=&ua=WXI7&itemid=370205859509

Don't forget the need to power electronic rodent repellers when you leave the car parked for longer periods of time, too.....we presently leave all our idle vehicles with trickle chargers and rodent repellers (several, inside the passenger space and under the hood) powered up.
