Hmmm .... it looks like that in addition to work truck owners Ford personnel have been reading RV forums.
We have a Ford V10 chassis based small motorhome that has a built-in generator for the coach. For years now during no-hookup parking/camping - even though our built-in generator is quite quiet - we sometimes merely idle the V10 to deliver a quick charge to the RV batteries or air condition the interior because the V10 idles way quieter than any generator. For battery charging or air conditioning the built-in generator consumes 0.3 to 0.5 gallons per hour and the idling V10 consumes around 0.7 gallons per hour, so our occasional use of the idling V10 consumes more fuel during short runs in situations where low noise is very important.
Of course the upcoming F-150 power supply option will supply way more power than our V10's alternator or it's cab air conditioning system - but the overall concept for camping use is similar to what we have been doing in our RV for years.
