Super easy actually, jacks attach to all 4 corners and lift it off the bed like most typical truck campers. Prob 15 minutes. I have a frame it sits on in the garage when not in use.

Scout Olympic. Sleeps five with the rooftop tent, six if some are kids. Added Timbrens to the rear to help with sway. Been in some crazy winds and its more stable than my VW Van. Average about 1.5 kW if I keep it around 55 It has its own solar setup but great to have the truck for larger...

Nice setup. here’s mine, been loving it.

OK I never cared for the overly complicated console shifter and switched mine out for the rotary as soon as I could, but this seems dumb to me. Did somebody have Marty Mcfly pick these up when he went back in time ? To each his own, but a big clunky club hanging off the steering column that...

I agree with hturner. Leave the wiring in place and have them install a 14-50. Then if you ever move back you can just plug in your FCSP. With a strong clause in your rental agreement that only "approved by you appliances" will be used there. I had a rental once and you can never anticipate...

Add the ZF eBeam https://www.zf.com/products/en/cars/campaigns/ebeam/ebeam_1.html Then we can talk "Rugged Range". I love my Lightning but would love a bit more payload for actual truck use...

Love this feature about the truck and it was the major selling point for my wife. Where we live in rural WA state, we have occasional planned outages for maintenance. Couple neighbors have stopped by wondering why our lights are still on. I have a simple gen inlet with interlock also, works...

Huh! I wondered what was under those also, but hadn't had a chance to look. I might cut some slits in them to discourage rodent infestation.

Seems as though they are referring to the Ford branded chargers that some of the dealers have installed. They’re pretty good if you can get them to work, they have a very specific process using the FordPass app. Not very intuitive and (my dealership at least) seems as though dealership staff has...

Good to know, just trying to plan ahead for sway of potentially top heavy camper. Maybe I'll just see how it goes.

Has anyone replaced the bump stops with airbags on the lightning? I'm looking at a Scout Olympic truck camper which should come in at about 1400 #s Already running 8 ply BFGs. I've searched but has anyone added airbags to the lightning ?

This seems very similar to issue I had. Ended up being a broken wire in harness to the IPMA if I remember correctly. Took them awhile to diagnose. I’ll try and find my stuff I posted on here. This is my post from when they finally figured out what was going on with my truck. Happened to...

I have the ford branded aeroskin. Fits nice, I like the look, hasn’t affected range 1 bit. Would recommend.

Good thinking with the charger cable routing. I charge on 110 at work all the time to top off before a trip. Any little bit helps save $

Here's what I'm sick and tired of hearing: "Well it's an EV so we have to wait for the EV tech to look at it"... Funny how the EV tech at our closest dealer seems to always be at lunch. I dropped my truck off for ball joint nut recall (which they claim they did but doesn't show in Fordpass)...
