Just to update this. The voltage is all over the place. Perhaps I’m reading too much into it but it does seem odd. Since the last post the voltage was sat at 13.3v as the vehicle hasn’t been moved and no load put on the battery. Vehicle was started and 20A went to the battery for about 30...

@jonyjoe101 Thanks, useful info. I assumed charging at 0.2C would be relatively slow, but perhaps that may be part of the problem. Checking the voltage today (after 24 hours of no charge/usage) and it's back at 13.3v (left at the 13.0v mentioned in the OP), which is 90% charged. Perhaps it took...

I have a Renogy 20a DC-DC charger connected to a Battleborn 100Ah battery and a Victron 712 to monitor the system. While we're driving around a lot, the battery does not seem to charge back up to full and stops charging soon after the car Is started. Voltage builds up to 14.4v pretty quickly...

I sent an email last night complaining about the price. The response today was that they’re not currently in their Canadian warehouse and are shipping direct form the US. They’ve added them to to the Canadian site early due to interest. Apparently when they arrive properly in September they'll...

They’re having a giraffe! No wonder they’re charging so much for delivery from the US. It basically makes them the same price. Definitely going to get it ordered to the US border and pick up when I get my GFC.

I’d follow what’s in the manual or the official Ford website. Dealers are going to recommend things that don’t need doing to make extra money for theselves - case in point, my dealer rang me up a couple of weeks for an oil change, at 6 months after the last one, rather than the year... a lot of...

I’m in Canada. I’m hoping the heat may keep the battery above freezing. ;) How do most people keep their battery compartments cool? Must be a common issue? Good call on the incandescent bulb, although I’m not sure if I have one round any more. I think a thermometer controlled fan is going to...

I understand that, but the definition of small is what I’m asking for. I can’t see many electrical/battery compartments being much bigger than the one I have, hence the question. If needed I can set up a couple of 12v fans to exchange the air with the inside of the camper based on heat.

Forgot to mention in my earlier reply. They got back to me and said late August for the Canadian store now. I’m now considering the same, I may get it shipped to a border warehouse and pick it up when I go and get my camper (next month hopefully). I’m a four hour drive from Sweetgrass so not as...

The 6” difference between a 6’ and 6’5 bed truck doesn’t differentiate them enough IMO. I’d also argue that the”half cab” trucks still have plenty of space for rear passengers. They have the same legroom as most mid size cars, and more than the average non North American doublecab truck (Hilux...

And if you want to go obscene get the Coyote and stick a Whipple on it...:p

I just used the email on their website “Onlinestoreca@renogy.com”, Flora was the one responding to me. Presume thir CS are based in Australia as they replied at 3AM.

5.0 has the highest payload. For those of us that don’t tow that’s a plus.

There’s actually only really three trim levels. XL, XLT, Lariat. XL - base, base, truck, add a few options with the STX option. XLT - mid level truck with most toys depending on package levels. (Around 70%+ of sales) Lariat - top level - King Ranch, Platinum and Limited are high packaged...

That’s the max payload for that configuration, add packages on top and you lose payload. As an example I have a 2017 supercab XLT, max payload is 2120lb, but my package gives 1900lb payload. Lariat package removes another couple of hundred or so. Hence the requirement to check the sticker...
