    2021 F150 vs F250

    The 7.3 is offered all the way up to the F 750 including a CNG/Propane option. Is now offered on RV chassis and in school bus chassis. It will do fine. Can always go with the 6.2 BOSS. There is a million of them and if they stop making it today you will have parts for 20 years.

    AGM vs Lithium??

    Initial impression, yes it does. The dealer, Watts247 also have their own branded larger capacity batteries Besides the Genezen Bolt Ultra.

    AGM vs Lithium??

    I stumbled across this YT of a trailer setup. Far more than what you maybe looking for, but maybe useful. Key thing is that they used Silicate Salt batteries on the install. Perhaps something to consider. Installer in the video is also the dealer. Based in Utah...

    F550 or Ram 5500 or ???

    If you are really interested in the longevity and serviceability of the Ford 6.7 this YT channel is a good watch. He is Ford mechanic in a dealership wrenching daily on personal, commercial, and utility 6.7 Super Duty. My takeaway is follow the maintenance schedule as listed is key to longevity...

    Heated Lithium / LifePo4 House batteries in Northern (cold) climates

    If the van is mostly parked during the winter and the batteries are only for the house side of the operation is removing the batteries and placing them indoors for the winter not an option? Look up the storage and maintenance suggested for Lithium/LifePo4. Just keep them at 50% SOC for the...

    F350 Suspension with Flatbed and Fulltime Camper

    I went on the Ford build site. 2022 F350 Supercab XLT SRW Chassis cab with the stuff I would like. It was slightly cheaper then the low mile 2018 F350 SC pickup I came across. Good point on the municipal stuff.

    F350 Suspension with Flatbed and Fulltime Camper

    Good points. I ask because one possibility is that with fleet sales and service trucks used chassis cabs are always a possibility for the budget minded. Although the last time I was really looking at these they were coming out of the oil fields and we’re just beat to a pulp. Most were being sold...

    F350 Suspension with Flatbed and Fulltime Camper

    Same question but a slightly different platform from the original basis. Baseline is a 2014+ F350 Supercab SRW Chassis cab. 60 inches from cab to axle and another 47 inches to the end of the rear frame. Rear frame width is 34 inches vs the 37.5 inches of the pickup frame. No FX4 or camper...

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    I know people will put residential split units in Class A's or bus conversions, etc. I'm not aware of a rugged version of a dual cycle that would be better suited to a truck camper. What I like about the Cruise N Comfort, fabricated in the USA, locally sourced parts, and with their marine build...

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    Just illustrating how one could end up with 3 different fuel sources. I believe some folks prefer the diesel Webasto for high elevation performance. Just seems odd with the pendulum going to electric on these choices? With 400a - 600a in batteries and 400w - 800w of solar and an upgrade to a...

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    Given the option of adding a 270* awning and the shower cube, there is stuff hanging out there. What about running a length of aluminum from the top bracket to the bottom bracket on the forward lifts to act as a brush guard / deflector?

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    Some initial differences. Weight is higher, dropped the battery it is now an option, dropped the Bomar roof hatch, upgraded to Victron complete electrical system, upgraded to 200w panels, added storage under a thicker mattress, Molle panel and tire carrier now standard, and the pass through to...
