Tank531,

Yes, I have Webasto with remote control. It is not only for comfort but also because of the engine to last longer and consume less during cold starts.
I have a minor concern with it because all electronics especially the built in computer display consume a lot of electricity and during hard frost temperatures (below -15C) the battery does not spare enough power for Webasto to run more than 10 minutes (it is not enough to warm up the engine) if I dont remember to close the computer display during driving.

Not much snow here anymore, but I was able to find a place to take two photos.

Just for your information, tire tracks shown infront are mine, as I first drove the steep hill up, and then reveresed to park in the middle of the hill to take a photo. After I took the photo, I continued up again with no problems.

I have to say traction was very good!
