  1. Powering A Rented Tow-behind RV

    Not sure the specs on a power boost power output. However the power needs over a camper with AC is 30 amps. 50 amp on bigger RVs that have 2 or more AC units. When I hook up to a 20 amp on crowded campsites I pop the breaker regularely on hotter days. As for the supplied power adapter with...

  5. I have 2H/4H/4L, where is 4A?

    Wow. Thats quite the response for a light hearted comment when I wasn't bashing they guy. At least you got your chance to give your technical expertise
  6. I have 2H/4H/4L, where is 4A?

    Damn dude. I live in wisconsin and don't even use 4H unless the snow is over 3 inches. Put some weight in the bed. A few sand bags do the trick.
  7. Wisconsin Thread

    How else am I suppose to get secret camping spots. Lol
  8. First decently big Tow with 3.5L Eco - Results

    3.5 ecoboost towing a 5500 lb travel trailer. I am getting about 9.5 mpg on average. I have seen 7 mpg and 11 mpg depending on if i drive aggressive or not.
  9. Who actually uses a weight distributing hitch?

    I have not. Been in 40+ mph gusts and had to make adjustments. Also got up to 85 mph for a bit just to see how it handled. No issues at all. I do load everything in the front of the trailer to keep the back light. It moves back there but wouldn't consider it sway.
  10. Who actually uses a weight distributing hitch?

    The problem isn't the trucks or their size. In my opinion ford failed on the hitch. Its only rated for 500lbs tongue weight. You can buy an after market with much higher tongue weight load. Using the WDH spreads the weight efficiently. Second is the antisway. Size of a truck won't change that...
  11. Who actually uses a weight distributing hitch?

    For travel trailers the tongue weight advertised is way off. Propane tank and battery are added by the dealers and that alone is at least 100 lbs. If there's an electronic tongue jack another 30 lbs. Second propane tank add another 37 lbs. See where I'm going with this lol. Also for true travel...
  12. Who actually uses a weight distributing hitch?

    By no means am I an expert however here is my thought on disabling Fords anti sway. Andersons anti sway is passive vs fords active sway control. The hitch uses friction to prevent sway from starting. The trucks active sway will correct if the trailer begins to sway. Seems to me keeping it...

  14. Trailer tow mirrors with BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) vs Standard Mirrors

    Ford part guy at my dealership. This is a truck specialty dealer. We spent an hour together on this. Luckily he was a decent guy and spent that time. I asked to verify and he did.
  15. Trailer tow mirrors with BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) vs Standard Mirrors

    Parts guy at my local Ford dealer found the part #. He couldn't even order the parts as they aren't officially an accessory yet. He stated its common with new model years. Also called a Ford parts site who listed them for sale. Called them as I wanted to verify they had them.. Customer service...
  16. Mirrors for those of us without factory Tow Mirrors

    I thought the same thing. Tried to order from the dealer and they couldn't complete the order. He said its because Ford is blocking them as an accessory. Apparently this is common on new models. Its a waiting game right now.
  17. Over-Thinking About GVWR?

    Not saying your wrong about your trailer specs. However most manufacturer specs do not include the tanks and battery. It even states that on their websites. My camper for example is an off grid model with 2 tanks and two batteries. The standard model has 1 of each but the same tongue weight on...
  18. Mirrors for those of us without factory Tow Mirrors

    Keep in mind the $700 pair has power adjustment. Just doesn't have power fold. If your truck isn't set up for power folding option your paying extra for the chrome caps.
  19. Mirrors for those of us without factory Tow Mirrors

    FYI on 2021 tow mirrors. Can't buy them as they aren't available as an accessory yet. Parts guy at dealership and me spent a couple hours looking and reading specs. Still too new to be available. He did say that when available they will knock down the price $100-200 at the dealership Part #...
