H1 in various seasons

[lvs]

I live in the midwest where it gets very cold in the winter and very humid in the summer. I have not had any problems. On very cold days, just use the block heater.

Dont have one so cant get a full opinion on it. But I live in florida, and its very hot and humid all year round and theres a fair share of H1's down here, so i cant imagine they run bad here if quite a few people have em. As for cold, only thing i would see a problem, is doesnt diesel become like a gel i the cold or someting like that?!

Good to hear. Block heater will have to do. We have a 2 car garage and the H3 fits on one side but the H1 will never fit on the other. Looks like I'll be parking it on the driveway all year round.

Selwa,

When I had my h1 a few years back it fit in a standard size garage all I had to do was fold in the mirrors on each side.

Good to know! It looks tight but until I get it not sure. What sucks is that it's just an hour from me but getting safety and emissions done. The day I get it I'll post pics for sure!

I live in Fort Lauderdale - hot and humid most of they year - but on the one occasion that it dropped below 40, last January, I could not start the H1 - I wound up being two hours late for a meeting in Miami. Luckily - this is not an everyday occurance

I've been looking at getting the webasto heater, only problem is finding somewhere it install one.

I live in mid Ohio, never had a problem due to being to hot or cold, most stations run with winter diesel anyway after November, and then switch back around March

I live in Northern Idaho, about 80 miles south of the Canadian border. I use my H1 to pull my snowmobiles. I was in McCall, Idaho in January with beautiful sunny days, but the mercury was at -16F. My rig started every day without being plugged in. I would recomend plugging in however. As for you H1 owners in the south, all of the deisel pumps begin running a diesel blend from the pumps with 'anti-gel' beginning in Ocotber, November. I still put additive in mine if the temps look like they will drop below zero. My Dmax Chevy gel'd up on me when I was travelling down the interstate due to below zero temps compounded by wind chill.

One other point. A heated windshield is a must. My 2000 H1's defrost has a hard time keeping up in extreme cold. I turn on the heated windshield and crank my heater to keep me warm. I have a 92 H1 w/o a heated windshield, and it sucks to drive in the winter. I have to choose to either keep the windshield clear with the defrost or keep me warm with the heat.
