You forgot the flame paintjob and the dirt getting kicked up from the spinning tires.

A battery monitor like the victron 712 would get you a lot better idea of your battery fullness than voltage alone. You could run heavy charging leads back to the trailer. It would have to be at least 2awg, properly fused, and isolated from your truck batteries when your truck is not running.

It’s like you’re describing my experience towing a 10,000lb 12’ tall travel trailer with my gasser 3/4ton, except there were times I ran at 4000 rpm just to maintain the 55mph when I had a 25mph headwind. Aerodynamics mattered more than weight that day.

As far as I’m aware the downstream o2 sensor(s) are there for the sole purpose of determining if the cats are operating and effective. If the cats not working if turns on the CEL for emissions reasons only. I don’t think engine performance is affected by ineffective cats unless they’ve melted...

I've had a 20+ mph headwind for eight hours straight once, and I was in a hurry to get home. A little aero goes a long way.

I'm not super happy with my viair. Going from 50 ish psi to 80 ish psi is basically impossible on all four tires with my $100 unit. It would take maybe two hours, I gave up after an hour. Guess I should have paid more.

I had a zr2 p/u with factory 31x10.5, a 4 door blazer I put 30x9.5 on, and a 2wd p/u with tiny tires. The last one ate the most steering components but I put the most mileage on it.

I thought the Astro had more in common with the S10’s

Seems kinda odd but Deboss garage on YouTube did the same thing with his Duramax into a 60’s Chevy build.

Do the 150’s have room for a second battery under the hood? Maybe an option from the diesel model?

That decking looks super strong, you could make some kind of folding bed/bunks/counter platform(s). Maybe even a ramp/deck for the back.

It’s nice to see ford still puts the hooks on. My new ram 4x4 work truck doesn’t have tow hooks.

I’ve never used one but I think there’s some kind of Ford bracket used on the vans to mount batteries down on the frame. You could get a couple golf cart batteries for your auxiliary’s (if they fit the brackets), golf cart batteries are better bang for your buck than normal agm’s. Mounted...

Did you have to modify the suspension to get the tires to fit? Do those bigger tires soften the ride? How does it do with stock gearing?

Sorry, I misspoke. I’m was thinking of the Blink system.

More on the Blink system. He starts talking about the security system at about 5:30 min but the whole video is great for those who RV. I set up three Blink cameras for the in-laws. It works fine.The temp is definitely off and one of them quit working after a couple months, might just be the...

I would use that or some other dc-dc charger before I’d use a converter and a 120v battery charger. You could just wire the two batteries together but you’d get some voltage drop and the auxiliary battery would be chronically under charged and that would affect its life expectancy. I would...

Nice looking truck. Which f150’s have the big 36 gallon fuel tank? How does the mpg compare between 2.7 and 5.0.
