Good call, Chris! The last few nights have been very clear with no wind. The dew fall has been heavy as a result and with the clear night the temps have dropped dramatically. Three mornings in a row now, my van has had a glaze of ICE - not frost - all over it. It is defintely time to check thos clamps. Soon as it warms up a bit this morning I'm going to check mine. I've got to do a tune-up too. First little cold snap and things don't want to function just right.
