2017 Ford F250 battery question

I have read somewhere on past posts that the camper only uses the Ford truck battery with the ignition on. Do you know if that is the case with newer Fords? The new truck is being readied for pickup this week, and I just want to make sure they don't need to do anything else, like add a battery isolating solenoid.
  • It is true with my 2013 Ford F350. I don't know about newer or older models.
  • With my 2014 F250 there is no power to the trailer when the ignition is off. Have left it hooked up for an entire weekend with no problems.
