The best thing about a Truck Camper is having a Truck. Truck things. Off road things. :)

Here is the dash tablet RAM mount. It allow for flexible positioning and charging. We LOVE using a tablet for navigation and route planning. It also allows the built in dash screen to navigate via google and use the tablet for more detailed maps. Multiple map sources are often helpful.

The camper has been stored inside since new (excluding travels). However, we sold our large shop in the spring... I don't like storing things outside. Even our dump trailer has been inside since new!

Our commercial warehouse doors are a bit short. But I figured we could get the camper inside with a custom low profile rolling platform. Massive 8" caster wheels with kingpin, ball bearing and steel center.

Worked perfectly. Now the camper enjoys 78 degrees. :)

Donki (the F250) has also been garaged since new (except travels). It really starts to show after a few years! We recently sold Faith's 2021 Tacoma; the transport driver thought it was new! He didn't believe it was a used truck until we showed him the odometer.

Just shows you can use things. And if properly maintained they can last a LONG TIME!

Ford stock lead acid battery was short lived. The original failed completely before 2yrs (warranty replaced). The replacement was on it way out...

It now as a proper battery Odyssey 65 Performance. This one should significantly outlast the prior batteries. I'm glad Ford has mostly done away with the lead acid batteries. AGM is standard in most vehicles. Sadly it has more to do with enabling enough power for efficiently systems likes "start / stop" tech. Yuck.

This truck is one of the last of its kind... Enough technology to be convenient but not overdone to have reliability and longevity issues.

We will be posting the truck separately when the camper sells. Unless someone wants the entire setup (while available).
