Hi y’all

So I’m living out of my new to me, 2010 EL limited and I’m camped in very freezing temperatures. It’s currently 13 degrees Fahrenheit. I have a 33 degree sleeping bag. I’m uncomfortably relying on my vehicle for warmth to stay alive.

What should I be worried about? Fouling? I did that to my old explorer and had to replace spark plugs. Is it safe to idle this much? Should I preemptively replace spark plugs soon after this?

I’m running Lucas fuel additive too which I just read can cause bad spark plugs.

Any advice appreciated.

A 300w solar powered heater with battery back-up might work. Might be able to pick one up from Harbor Freight.
