  1. RV electrical system upgrade complete

    No: Note that the brake lights are independent of the brakes themselves. In certain failure modes it is possible for brake lights to work without the brakes themselves working, or vice-versa. Perhaps you and others reading understand this, but to be sure .... The house battery plays a role...
  2. FitcamX Failure to Launch

    Yep, never showed any indication of powering on, never figured out the issue and returned it for refund, haven't tried again. 100% certain it's not problem #3 in my case. I will offer that while the Fitcam 'Tee' connector slipped nicety home in the back of my mirror, on the other end the...
  3. RV electrical system upgrade complete

    If intent on DC charging from a vehicle, this is where the Victron Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC chargers (distinct from Victron Orion-Tr DC-DC converters**) comes into beneficial play. The referenced line of Victron chargers absolutely prevents current-flow from the trailer to the vehicle no matter the...
  4. RV electrical system upgrade complete

    Understood, but of course your PB is a different animal from my 3.5EB. Given your PB's on board 7.2kW of AC power, it strikes me that configuring a way to connect that to your trailer shore power input while underway is the way to go (?). Disconnect the battery charge DC feed completely as I...
  5. RV electrical system upgrade complete

    Nice setup @Davexxxx (y) I note that the Victron Multiplus installation instructions make reference to the amp rating of the fuse between the battery and the Multiplus, but are silent as to type. For whatever reason the installation instructions for my Xantrex Freedom XC 2000 Inverter/Charger...

  7. I Need Some Towing Help

    @Keef , I gotta commend you for considering these realities, many folks don't and end up getting turned off to the RV lifestyle due to less than enjoyable trailering outcomes. IME over 50 years of trailering (yeah, I'm well into my 70's and have enjoyed trailering all of my adult life)...
  8. I Need Some Towing Help

    Given that, IMO you are on the right track and should not be swayed by the person whose primary interest is selling a trailer. And I do mean "swayed" .... Regardless of the use of a WDH (that is to say whether or not you use a WDH) you should maintain at least 10% of the actual...
  9. I Need Some Towing Help

    I had the same thought - the question is begged - @Keef , have you or your dealer installed any accessories since your truck left the factory (e.g. tonneau, bed cap, wheels / tires, etc) which might account for your rather high 'everyday equipment' weight?
  10. Real World Weight

    Maybe the series of Fxxx one buys should be related to one's weight (F150>250>350 ...) :unsure: ;)🤣
  11. Real World Weight

    I'm beginning to understand why payload is an obsession for some folks .... ;) 🤣
  12. Any update on a Trailer TPMS system?

    FWIW .... I ordered TPMS + Cam kit LC3Z1A189A (with TPMS & Cam but NO Yaw Sensor because mine is a 5th-wheel trailer, not compatible with my 2022 F150's backup assist). However, the trailer harness that came with that kit has, from front to rear: The '12-pin' connector for the bumper socket A...
  13. Real World Weight

    (y) (y) (y) IMO ^that's^ the bottom line ..... too many folks just don't have any real(istic) notion of their actual wights vs their GVWR and GAWR's. I'm baffled by folks who spend big-bucks and big-effort setting up trucks and trailer rigs but balk at the small-bucks and small-effort of a few...
  14. Real World Weight

    Complete OE truck specs in my signature block. Aftermarket accessories installed: B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseball hitch In-bed trailer wiring harness and connector box (7-pin + 12-pin) Line-X including tailgate Cast aluminum wheel-to-wheel running boards Retractable rear corner bumper step...
  15. Do all 4x4's have 4A option?

    In the Order Guide under XL Standard Equipment, we find 4x4 Electronic-Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF) with Neutral Towing Capability ESOF transfer case is without the "Auto" setting; then all trims through XLT are the same as XL standard equipment except where noted. In the Order Guide under Lariat...
  16. Gandalf The White - 75th Year Anniversary Edition

    I am! My '05 and my happier with more chrome '22 (y) :D (the '05 has a custom grill with driving lights sold by Hella, but the OE grill which I still have is all-black, too)
  17. Why is Max Trailer Tow Package not available with the 18” Chrome-like wheels?

    I think not, my 2022 Lariat with Max Tow has 18" wheels with tires having plenty of load capacity up to the max GVWR of any F150. Trucks with the HDPP also used / required 18" wheels / tires. But as stated by the OP, in 2022 (in fact all years) the Max Tow Package (or HDPP with the same...
  18. Getting nothing back on warranty refund

    You said you have a 5 year ESP, but how many KM did it cover, and how many KM are on the odometer today? The refund is based on pro-rated time OR pro-rated kilometers, whichever yields the LESSER refund. Then there is a cancellation fee subtracted from that ($75USD on a USA ESP). You keep...
  19. Can you turn off the IPC or dim it?

    If this is a regular need, an opaque paper mask trimmed to fit (e.g. manilla folder stock, thin cardboard)?
  20. Has anyone ordered a 2024 with Tow/Haul 53T AND axle XL5 / XL7?

    Unless your order spec and window sticker specifically state "3.xx MAX TOW E-LOCK REAR AXLE" I suspect you have the XL9 3:55 Electronic-Locking rear axle (semi-floating type). Per the order guide that will not yield "maximum trailer tow capability". It has nothing to do with E-Locking...
