    My last hurdle - condensation

    Wow! I'm impressed how little fuel it uses. I have been heating with the propane Buddy heater but I didn't like the amount of fuel it uses among other issues. Good thing about diesel is that it has higher energy density than propane therefore consumes less storage space. I might run mine on...

    My last hurdle - condensation

    The main reason I went with the smaller unit is because diesel heaters generally don't like to be run at the lowest setting. This is because of the potential for carbon buildup mucking up the works. I'm also just heating the bed of my truck plus the wedge popup area so it'll be adjusted to the...

    My last hurdle - condensation

    I purchased one of these too but a 3K version. It should be here in a couple of days. It's good to hear that TantoTrailer's unit only draws 8.4A with the glow plug running. My lithium power block has a stated max output of 10A. I could only find the 2K heater in the kit version. Now I have to...

    F150 vs Tundra....I’ll make a decision tomorrow

    Is there any data out which supports the claim of Toyota longevity? The problem is longevity is a moving target because manufactures are continually improving their products. This photo doesn't say much for Toyota durability. This rust issue extended to Tundras too.

    Let's talk frying pans

    I just ordered a set of these. They're triple riveted and appear to be built for commercial kitchens. PFOA free non-stick. Great price! $35 for both. https://www.costco.com/Tramontina-2-piece-Fry-Pan-with-stick-Silicone-Grips.product.100365410.html

    My 2WD F150 adventures

    Nice photos. Nice clean setup! I'm also interested in the camera and lens you used. Those photos are very sharp.

    F150 - 5.5' vs. 6.5' bed?

    The supercab with the 6.5 has the same overall length and wheelbase as the crewcab with the 5.5.

    F150 - 5.5' vs. 6.5' bed?

    How can that be since you have an extra foot to work with? Would you say a 4.5' bed could haul as much as a 5.5" bed?

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    The 10 speed helps eliminate much of the difference in MPG between rear end ratios. I had a 2017 2.7 6 speed and it didn't get much better MPG , if any, than my 2018 3.5 10 speed. Now that the 10 speed is offered with the 2.7 the mpg has gone up. The new 5.0's are having issues with...

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    Do you have the 2.7EB? Probably should subtract ~ 1 MPG for the generally optimistic mpg gauge. Nevertheless, very impressive! Sometime I wish I got the 2.7 instead of the 3.5 because I don't tow.

    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    I have a 2018 F150 Supercab 3.5 Ecoboost. Just completed a 2000 mile mixed freeway, mountain, city and offroad trip. 1/3 of the trip was with a relatively unloaded truck and the meter said 21.1 / 20.24 hand calculated. I didn't baby it and it included 80 mph Highway 90 N. Idaho. 2/3 of the trip...

    "Double down or fold" - Part 2 ...

    Here's the latest TSB for the 5.0. If you're in the market for a new F150 5.0 you might want to reconsider. Is it worth the risk for the V8 sound which really doesn't have anything to do with functionality and reliability? TSB 19-2058.pdf...

    @ D45. The new generation 3.5 is not junk. Its the best selling truck for a reason. You're stating an opinion not fact.

    "Double down or fold" - Part 2 ...

    Get a Ford F150 3.5 Ecoboost with the heavy duty payload package. This should handle your trailer with ease. The twin turbos handle high altitude very well and the 3.5 is a torque monster with 470 lb/ft and 375 hp. The torque is available at a relatively low RPM and is steady through a long...

    Vehicle Portable Battery Options for Keeping a Dometic CFX 40 Refrigerator Charged

    I bought one of these under a different label. Seems like a quality unit to me. Two of them with their own 100W solar panels would be plenty of power for my setup. I need to test it more to determine if one will be adequate. I haven't used mine much yet but I tested it overnight powering my 54...

    GFC vs. Vagabond

    I benefited from participating in the GFC preorder and paid a total of $5200 delivered for the XL version (F150) including the optional forward window. For the additional $4000+ that I would've spent on the proposed XL Drifter I could buy a set of new offroad tires, a quality 270 awning...
