I understand all of this angst and confusion about the exact cost and duration of BlueCruise for us early '22 owners. It is really not worth my time to worry about any of this right now. I will just take what is being offered. But, at least for me, I will just wait and later join the class...

If you purchase a BlueCruise plan after the expiration of the complimentary trial or included duration, your Connected Service term ...........continues until the expiration date indicated on your order confirmation and in the FordPass app, or will automatically renew if you purchase a monthly...

Yep - Thank you Ford, and the original poster. My '22 Lariat ER was to expire August '25, now a year later for $0. My VIN in 7,000s. Unfortunately, will not use much because it does not work while I tow my Camper Trailer, currently mostly fulltime. Hopefully soon someone will get the promised...

Sounds about right. I drove that route in December southbound from OR when colder and snowy over Shasta. Got mostly 1.5-1.6 on the level at your speeds. Can't do much to help out the resistance of that brick following you. Yesterday, coming off Continental Divide eastbound in NM on I-10...

While towing my Bean Teardrop trailer for about 4,000 miles these past several months, my Guess-O-Meter has been driving me nuts by continuously under estimating range. My trailer is 15 feet long, 7 feet tall, 7 feet wide, and weighs 3,000 lbs. loaded, but is very aerodynamic. I add my trip...

Thanks TR. I would say you are doing OK @1.0kW/mile what with the high profile tow, camper top, and I am guessing you drive at highway speeds (70-75mph?). You did not mention weight but I have found on level ground weight matters little over constant long distances. My difference is a more...

Yeppers - that is what I use. I just wish Ford had an adapter cord coming out of their charger that would give me 24A. The only choice now is 32 or12.

I wish the state parks had the panel illustrated. Many (mine at the moment) have only the middle one (30A). Unfortunately, the Ford Mobile Charger comes with plugs only for the outer two plugs (50A and 120V)..

Agree completely! I have over 30K across 40 states in the past 8 months with no lasting problems - of course, I have learned from the state of charging just two years ago to always expect the worst and love anything better. I trust nothing called NAV and always use the many great apps available...

That dongle is the same one I carry but it would not light up the charger on the RV outlets I have tried. Thanks. I do like this life most of the time, except on chilly dark nights when I am forced to go into the cabin too early and just watch a crappy Netflix. If I can do this in January, most...

All I am trying to do is supply whatever I can get to my Ford Mobile from a 30A RV plug in with the dongles Ford has supplied me.

Thanks Nikos. I have a good understanding of all of this and now reset my minimums when towing. My consumption has been running less than 5 kW so while plug in 120v my truck more than keeps up. Maybe someday Ford will see our posts and realize there is a future in Lightning camping if they would...

I will have to replace it at some point but hope to make it last until the NACS turmoil levels out. My only problems so far have been many ground faults, usually with ambient temps more than 90 or less than 30.

Damn! Mr. 21st - You Good! I got it now. You don't know how many hours you have saved me the rest of my life! Even at 80 yrs. old I still got a few left.

Hey! Thanks again for the great answers! But, I just hate to spend any $ for another mobile charger - I was hoping there might be a way to make my Ford Mobile Charger do the job. I had thought the Campsite 30A plug to a 30A to 50A adapter/dongle to my 50A Ford Mobile Charger plug would work but...

Probably another stupid question, but I have a pet peave. When I pull into a site and connect my truck bed power outlet to my camper I understand that my truck must remain "running" for the duration (and also to keep my Lightning WiFi powered up). My peave is in order to keep my truck on I am...

Thanks. I understand all of this. My problem is the site provides me with a 3 prong standard RV 30A plug in but my Ford Mobile Charger connectors only give me the option of a 120V or 50A (4 prong).

CAMPING OUT IN JANUARY SLOW CHARGING SOLUTIONS? As you might guess, camping and living on the road during the depth of the winter is not for thin-skinned, warm-blooded creatures. I am wintering on the Salton Sea, near Palm Springs CA, right now the warmest spot in the US; days 65ish and nights...

Thanks for the suggestions. When I bought my Emeril Lagasse oven about 4 years ago I liked the Ninjas but they were not big enough to bake a large chicken or small turkey (my electric range oven had just bit the dust) and I can also bake two batches of cookies or two cake pans at once. So as...

I have a 48Q AC/DC Fridge/Freezer in my camper kitchen (except for the wheels) and another smaller non-powered ice chest I use to transport groceries. Mostly use the fridge for vegs, milk, butter, and left overs (my meat diet is limited) and I am careful not to buy any more food at a time I do...
