- '22 F150 Lariat Powerboost 502A
- Thread starter
- #1
We are less than 2 full weeks into our new 22 Lariat Powerboost and most of that we have been camping...and driving s8ce we are over 2k miles now. Prior to the PB we towed our little Jayco with a 2015 Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel that I loved. The small fridge is 120v/12v/LP capable and we always run it at least 24 hours on 120v from home before leaving, switch to 12V while driving, then back to 120 or LP once getting to camp. We never lost more than 15% SOC according to my Victron shunt even on an 8 hour trip.
Now with the PB we have noticed that the truck is not able to keep up with the 12V demands of the fridge. At the end of a 3 hour trip we were at 63% SOC. I realize I could rig up a cord holder to run off the ProPower while driving but I don't really want to do that. Is there any way to improve the power available via the 7 pin connector so that it is better able to keep up with the trailer demands when traveling?
My other option is to plug on if we stop for breaks but that seems like overkill too.
Thanks
