Fire and Heat - Staying Warm at Camp Plus One Controversial Option
Heat is essential to winter survival. Even in Texas, you must prepare for old man winter.
We love campfires, but some people are not able to handle the smoke. Propane firepits are a great option, but they have also come out with fire pits engineered to have reduced smoke.
You also need a way to stay warm inside your camper. Most campers have limited insulation and are not much different than sleeping in a tin can. Propane furnaces will keep you toasty, but if you have shore power a very inexpensive ceramic heater will do the trick. Never underestimate using electric blankets and quality sleeping bags to stay cozy and warm. If all else fails, cuddle up with your significant other!

    Great tips for staying warm in the winter, even in Texas! 🔥❄ Propane fire pits sound like a perfect solution for campfire lovers who need to avoid smoke. I love the idea of using electric blankets and quality sleeping bags to stay cozy inside the camper - simple, effective, and warm. And of course, cuddling up with your significant other is always a great way to stay toasty! 😊🛏

    Hello Jim. Was about to say that about your ranger went out that quick. Just the way everything is built now a days. Our catalytic converter went out in our f 150 and the regular warranty covered it. We only had about 50k 4 years on it.

    @jimm2442 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I am a retired mechanic with over 35 years of on the job experience. I was also a licensed California smog test and repair technician. The concerning thing for me on your truck is why the catalytic converter failed. Typically a catalytic converter will last just about forever Unless it is exposed to excessive fuel or excessive oil or both. I admittedly am not a fan of a Ford motor company based on what I’ve seen in my experience. That said if a vehicle works for you that’s the vehicle to own. Personally, I would be doing research as I’m sure you are as to pattern failures with catalytic converters on your model truck. Being proactive may prevent such a failure in the future. Good luck to you.

    • @touringandtrails

      You have 2 fuel pumps in your truck. One in the gas tank, and one under the hood. The ones under the hood have been giving problems. If they don't resolve the issue, wait a couple of weeks and call your service writer. Tell him the truck has an intermittent hesitation and you sometimes hear the high pressure fuel pump get louder than normal. That being said, the Ranger is a fairly large vehicle, and trucks are not that aerodynamic. Its never going to be a high mileage vehicle. I wouldn't set my expectations too high. If you do decide to keep it, I would highly recommend you get the extended warranty. Most people do, and most have to use it. Its a good investment.

I have an F150 2WD with a 3.5 naturally aspirated engine producing 288hp....it does everything that I need it to do...and it gets over 20mpg in city driving...gets 25mpg on hwy.

As far as I know the Nissan Frontier is the only small truck without turbochargers. I had two of the pre-2011 Ford Ranger trucks and they were pretty good (The only major issue was the 2nd one, a 2006, had a piece of crap for a radiator that failed at about 70,000 miles). I think the new Ranger is crap.

In California and Illinois cars made in 1975 are required to pass emissions at same levels as factory from 50 years ago. Makes me wonder if those are still covered since they are required or sell the car in Alabama.

    A good Ford dealership should have checked the factory warranty.

      Right? That is ridiculous. They were hoping he wouldn't bring it up and they could squeeze some more $$$ out of the guy.

      @@dorkbear And who in the Ford dealership would make this decision to screw the customer over? Dealers make a fortune off of warranty repairs. Why would they risk loosing a guaranteed sale over a few dollars? We do everything we can to keep repairs covered under warranty. You've been watching too much Scotty Kilmer. He's just an actor and makes up everything as he goes.

    Good review. Do some homework on Direct Fuel Injection. The industry is still learning the gotchas of this technology change.

      Thanks. For sure, I'm kinda old school. Direct injection is still a mystery to me.

      What did your homework show? DI has been around since 1925 and has seen regular use since the 40's. It's been around for a little while.

    Ford ? are you kidding ? substandard crappy engineering from a company who does NOT stand behind the vehicles they make.

      Seems to be the norm across the entire automotive industry now. Most manufacturers assemble from standard parts shared across multiple brands. My backup will be a 30 year old truck.
