    Mr heater buddy heaters in tents overnight

    In the end do what you feel is right for you and the level warmth needed and the level of risk assumed. I run a little buddy at bed and in the morning. My choice is to have warm enough sleeping material that I will not need a heater at night. I sleep on the ground and usually have two dogs...

    which newer full size 1/2 ton is the best overland platform

    "Chipping" does nothing but fool the ecu into dumping more fuel. There is a company that does a bench tune for the ecoDiesel. The Bosch controller is very locked down. A proper tune actually changes the fuel maps.

    how accurate are the GPS

    The GPS in my truck's Nav unit sucks. I use my iPad (when off-road) or iPhone for normal driving. I also have a Delorme InReach. I use the iPad and Gaia to track my route, and paper maps to figure out where I am. Modern GPS units are usually very accurate.
