Hello, I would like to know what everyone is doing when they aren't driving their tow vehicle everyday? I purchased a small car now to drive and I'm not driving my TV as much. The tow vehicle is a 2008 6.6 duramax new body style Chevy. It has an engine block heater on it. Is it ok to leave the heater plugged in just to keep the fluids warm. I know one doesn't really need to plug it in until it gets below 0, but my question is will it hurt to be plugged in every night? I usually start it once a week, should I start it more often? I have been driving it for short distances once every few weeks and have been using the four wheel drive. I also bought an ADCO cover for it so I could keep off the elements. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.
