  3. You could grab a pair of the dipped gloves uploadfromtaptalk1415982130728.jpg (just an example)

    Still gives sense of touch but warm and has grip for steering or grabbing cold metals. (Door handle)

    Anyway, planning on using them in case I need to get my hands on ice, snow... :biggrin_2552: Can't risk another frostbite in my fingers...

    But for now, just turned bunk heater on and set temp at 80F... yes sir! :yes2557:

    If I set mine on 80º the cab would melt and I'd wake up encased in plastic.

    66º if under the covers, 68º if sleeping in standby mode (expecting a knock on the door at a dock) on top of the covers fully dressed.
