Electrical question 2018 F350
Does anyone know specifically where the blank tab off the relay box connects to internally? It goes hot when the acc is on. 2018 F350 diesel. The other connects straight to the right side battery and powers the relay box best I can tell I'm trying to find the best place to connect 4 gauge wire to run directly back to my Lance camper's charging relay for more charging from the alternator. I have a connector and plan 4 gauge all the way to the battery after the blue seas 7610 and of course a fuse right of where I tap fpr the power from the truck. Thanks!585Views0likes1CommentRe: Towing with extension suggestions?
Looking at some pictures I took with a tape measure in them it looks like I can be safe with a 12" pin to pin extension. I won’t be home until next week to do more follow up. I’m going to go weigh the boat and truck first to see where I’m at. All the suggestions are appreciated. I will report back when I have it figured out. Here is a picture of everything and as I said the camper was not tied down. It is sagging a bit and I’ll take care of that. Electric over hydraulic is waiting at home to be installed as is a new straight tongue coupler. I forgot I had these pictures on my phone. To much tequila in Zihua.807Views0likes0CommentsTowing with extension suggestions?
Hello. I haven’t been on in a while as everything has been good with the truck, camper, and boat. Until recently. First, I bought a bigger boat, the good. It’s a Defiance 220 Pilothouse. With the 100 gallon fuel tank full the boat, stuff, and trailer is probably about 6000#’s. I’m going to go weigh it when I get back from vacation. The Lance 825 is still awesome. The 2008 F250 diesel though literally became a money pit in the past 2 years, being stranded for a lift pump, then the $4000 cab off fuel pump. Another sensor problem and I had it. Not in the budget but I bought a 2018 Ford F-350 Lariat crew cab 4x4, diesel of course. I need 24" of extension to hook the boat up and tow with the camper on. What are your suggestions? The old boat only weighed about 3000# and I just ran an inexpensive 18" extension I think it was. I have not ordered tie downs yet because I have a feeling I’m going to bite the bullet and get the superhitch magnum with 24" extension for safety. My tow is 200 miles of windy highway from Redding to Eureka on 299 about 10 times a year and maybe a trip to Oregon. I’ve looked at the Reese extension and will be right at the limit without a weight distribution hitch, I don’t have any experience with these, and under with one. I did put the camper in the bed of the truck and hooked the boat up and towed it a mile in the neighborhood and definitely seems like there is plenty of power to haul everything. But I can’t make sharp turns otherwise the anchor pulpit will hit the camper, especially the ladder side. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.4.4KViews0likes27CommentsRe: Sooooo... Do you lock your door?
When driving, not usually. When near a border crossing, absolutely. Had a random guy walk behind my camper at the Tijuanna to US crossing and swear the he grabbed my handle to check if it was open or not. To get in or leave something in I don't know but it was locked anyway.356Views0likes0Comments
