Just ran my first test with the F-150 hooked up to the 50 amp shore power plug on the trailer. This is the display showing load on both legs with the two air conditioning units running. Not using even half the output from the Ford. Ford supports this with a soft 800 RPM idle from the engine which turns on and off to keep hybrid battery topped off. Amazing technology.

Using the new LifeBlue 100 ah batteries. Each battery has an integral BlueTooth connection to monitor each battery separately.

Now that is the best use of hybrid technology I have seen.

And the Ford can power the average sized house with a transfer switch. Something a bunch of folks in Texas discovered last Winter right after the introduction of ProPower OnBoard. With a 32 gallon tank the F-150 is rated to run continuously for 31 hours delivering 7.2kw before it runs out of gas.

My Dodge can pull 30k lbs, but only has a 1200watt power inverter!

Airstream is only 6,100 empty after pulling out all the propane stuff. Did not realize how heavy propane systems were. The all electric conversion is much lighter than a propane fired RV when lithium batteries are in the mix. F-150 can only pull 18k (I should come in around 14k) but it uses both the eco boost V6 and the electric motor together so it has a lot of torque.

Yup, Ford decided to put all their advanced technology into the F-150. Waiting for the self driving software update. My truck has the hardware but BlueCruise software update "coming any day".
