  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
  • ( duckco.com/tfl-store ) So far, we've built our 2020 Ford F-250 "Super Tremor" with a 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 up as an overlanding rig, but how well do all the modifications work when it's time to tow your boat and camp out at the lake? In this camping trip video, Andre finds out exactly how well the truck and camper work first-hand.

    Andre, I had to laugh when your son scolded you. That was great!
    I've got a tip for you if you didn't /don't already do this. I ALWAYS do this.
    1. Come to a full stop with vehicle in drive.
    2. While keeping foot on the regular brake, move the gear selector to neutral and fully apply the parking brake (hand brake, foot parking brake, or electronic parking brake).
    3. Take your foot off the regular foot brake and allow the vehicle's weight to settle on the parking brake (usually doesn't move at all if applied fully).
    4. Now slide the gear selector into park.
    This completely prevents the vehicle from "rocking" when parking on a hill /sloped driveway, 'trying to connect your trailer, or just everyday. I literally do this every time I park even if I'm not on a hill. Makes an incredible difference with big trucks and motorhomes.
    It will also help save your transmission.
    To get going again after you hook up your trailer.
    1. Start the vehicle with the parking brake still applied and before you disengage it put the vehicle in gear (forward or reverse). With your foot on the regular brake release the parking brake. The vehicle won't move until you're ready but you will have noticed how buttery smooth it was to move the gear selector to D or R. None of the vehicle's weight was resting on the transmission, so it was free to move through the gear box.
    Hope you try this and it helps you out. Don't want to have your son scold you again. Haha

      Full brake then apply handbrake and reverse gear if downhill or flat, first gear if uphill.

    Andre very nice to see you enjoy time with the family and get to test out the gear at the same time, awesome job that weekend. Your son is funny, enjoy the age they grow very fast. The old campers that had a split going into the upper part for a taller door always leaked so that short door helps for weather. Stay safe and healthy guys.

    I am surprised that you did not use a surge protection device when you connected to shore power. Nasty things ( expensive things ) can happen to the electronics in the camper when connected to shore power.

    • @bryanclark3739
      @bryanclark3739 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also turn off the power at the pedestal before you hookup your power cord. Attach your surge protector (assuming you buy one) to the pedestal then turn on the power to check the current. Turn off the power again, attach your power cord to the surge protector and the camper and turn on the power. Like Bill Beverly said, expensive things can happen, especially in older RV parks and state parks.
      When someone is helping me backup to a trailer, I stop a couple inches short of the coupler, then I get out to see what minor adjustments I need to make and sure the coupler is higher than the ball. This is better than getting under the ball and your helper says “over 2”. Since I do sometimes hookup trailers myself, I invested in a cheap magnetic backup camera. My wife calls it the “Marriage Saver”. 🤪

    I loved this video in that it pertains to my needs with a slide in camper vs towing one. Have you considered a hard side slide-in like a Northern Lite or Lance? Boondocking off-road and on the beach, not hardcore just get you out there? You do more reviews on towing capability and would hope to see more reviews on payload.

    It was great to see Andre taking his kids for some family fun out at the lake camping. But just one thing. Did you attach an surge protector to the wire? Electricity at campsites many times are unreliable and I've heard of horror stories of things in the RV getting fried including the whole RV electrical system.

    You can't add A/C after the fact (well at least not cheaply). FWC frames up the aluminum differently if optioned. They are awkward residential window units however, that from what I've read live short lives. Terrible location to ad weight for CG and being aft of axle. The idea with a FWC, travel to where you don't need air-con. 😁
