    AUX camera input Superduty: always live, at any speed?

    Thanks Dreadlocks - good info. I was able to find this list of state-by-state info, by AAA. It seems that the AUX camera input should mute, as stock, to comply with these laws. https://drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/video-screens/

    AUX camera input Superduty: always live, at any speed?

    I believe it has to do with some law about a camera can't be on above 6 mph (distraction) i am not sure. But I do recall someone maybe saying the AUX camera input always works... at any speed.... I am unsure.

    Best Pop Up Truck Camper for Winter Use

    So great to know of your experiences with a Hallmark camper. We are about to order one. and.... in my experience, in terms of condensation - I 100% agree with you when you say " Just keep it vented to avoid excessive moisture and they are good to go." If anyone is having significant...

    Did I forget anything? About to order new Hallmark pop up camper

    All good thoughts. Thanks. :-) I am thinking that we will likely have to carry a folding step stool, for access to deploy and retract the AluCab 270 awning.... so that is a bit of a pain... but in my experience - especially winter (low sun) camping - the (side only) crank out awning on our old...

    did I forget any "must have" option? Midwest 2020 custom F350 gasser.

    Since you are being so disrespectful to me and calling me names such as nOOb why should I show YOU any respect? And just because i likely won’t buy a new 7.3 gas engine why have you picked a fight with me? Why do you care so much what I buy? your posts here on this thread are angry, petty and...

    did I forget any "must have" option? Midwest 2020 custom F350 gasser.

    Garrett a,k,a, CodyY, Ok against all better judgement - I’ll reply. You seem to want to continue to be rude. No, I have NOT started “literally 20” threads about Ford trucks and engines. That is false. You said “appear to ignore a substantial amount of solid advice in each of them.” No, I...

    Hey Garrett - I got the message. I now know what engine you would buy, Got it. No need to be insulting and rude. Do you have the ability to share your opinion and thoughts here, without being insulting and rude? Just curious. Seems that almost everyone else here is nice, and helpful.

    did I forget any "must have" option? Midwest 2020 custom F350 gasser.

    well... I can't think of how I would test drive a pickup with 3,000 lbs in the back - especially as I dont have the camper yet.... ;-) and as the max torque #'s and max HP #'s arent massively different between the 2 engines... I still think I'll be ok. ;-) thanks tho.

    did I forget any "must have" option? Midwest 2020 custom F350 gasser.

    and that is why I'm getting an F350.... with a GVWR of 11,400..... many people with basically identical pop up campers have reported "my 6.2L gasser F350 drives like the camper isn't even there" .... so unless those people, with the same truck, same 6.2 gasser, and basically the same camper are...

    did I forget any "must have" option? Midwest 2020 custom F350 gasser.

    Thanks for your thoughts CFMGarage and jadmt it will be nice for anyone to have the choice of the 6.2L gasser and the 7.3L gasser in the 2020. As my load will only be about 2,500 lbs... max 3,000 lbs. ...many many people with F350's with 6 speed and 6.2L with the 4.3 rear end have said that...

    did I forget any "must have" option? Midwest 2020 custom F350 gasser.

    Thanks... and.... so a little digging on the internets…. i found that the current 6.2L V8 produces 385 HP and 430 lb.-ft. of torque, and the new 7.3L V8 produces 430 HP and 475 lb.-ft. of torque, according to #’s just released by Ford, according to this (and a few other) websites...

    How is this for a power system? Solar vs battery balance?

    :-) I'm just the guy who is buying the Pop Up camper.... I'm letting Hallmark design the solar system. They have a ton of experience with these things.... they do lithium systems all the time... and seem incredibly knowledgeable on all this stuff. Me? Not. so I am deferring to Hallmark. So far...
