I have used the RAM mount is below freezing weather and I have not had any problems. The suctioncups have not had any problems in freezing weather, go for it!

We had some extremely cold weather where I live (close to -20) and I did not try the Talon, mainly because the most important consideration in getting a good grip is cleanliness. Between snow, ice, road grime and frost I would not trust my bike on the roof. The car has to be perfectly clean and dry. If you watch the video on Sea Sucker's website you will see the guy wipe off the surfaces where the suction cups need to go. Once clean and dry and the suction cups pumped down, I think you could almost pick up the car. Anything less and either the seal will be compromised or the moisture inside the cup will evaporate and compromise the vacuum inside the cups.

I tried plowing through 5 inches of wet slushy snow and it did not do a good job. The motor was struggling. Fluffy 6 inches is no problem at all.

I never tried a suction cup. I felt comfortable with the adhesive mount especially when the interior temperature of the car gets very hot the adhesive tape holds the camera still.

We had several days of minus teen weather last winter. The bucket worked very well for the most part. Occasionally if I overfilled it, there would be a thin shelf of ice on the top of the water (since it was furthest from the heat coil). I would recommend the bucket.

I agree with the answers gave, does not take much suction. First time I used it I wondered also. Filled the cup full by the next morning.

Don't know really, but I was pretty amazed today that we got through around 7 - 8 inches of heavy, wet snow today with our 13.5 amp here in Iowa. Just go kind of slow and don't overtax it. Beats shoveling although usually I would have done it before it got so deep.

You are right to wonder as many do have a hard time sticking and it is usually bc they are being stuck to a cold surface. If you warm the car first then stick it on it should hold through out the day but that also depends if you are talking about -5 or -30. Also it is advised to have a clean surface too. These cups are quite sticky, so please do try and if it does not work then contact Starlight and Sunny for customer support, they will make sure you are taken care of !

Down into the freezing area, you'll be fine. Even short periods of sub freezing if it's covered. It will run most of the time but stay 104. Below zero? I doubt it.

I don't know as I do not live in a very cold climate. Sorry I cannot be of more help

I asked a very similar question, except that mine barely got to 23. I believe the answer is your elevation. I am at approx 4400 ft. elevation, I am guessing that you are at approximately 1000 ft. elevation. At that elevation, the atmospheric pressure is approx 28.86 inches mercury. The VP112 is capable of about 90% vacuum. So 90% of 28.86 is just about the 26 that you are seeing.

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

I'm really sorry I can't help you, but it was mostly clear and very cold when we were out. However, when it did snow, they worked great and comfortable.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

I live in the cold prairies of Canada and have one of these. The windows do not seem to fog much for me when I am plowing snow. I think that because it is not air tight, it doesn't fog much. As far as the cab being warmer, I would say that it is not. It's nice because you don't have the wind on you but there seems to be a decent gap from the bottom of the windshield part and my hood which let's in a little breeze. I'm not disappointed in it for the price. I would buy one again. Zippers on the doors seem to be good and install didn't take too long to figure out. Hopefully that helps a little...

Most definitely! I used it every day during the last 2 winter and it continuously froze up on me. It only occured during moments of HEAVY labor in 10*F

Sorry can't help. I keep mine in my basement all year long. The coldest temperature is probably 65 degrees.
