Interesting, haven't done a lot of research and hadn't read in the past about people monitoring tank temps. Makes sense though as most of the builds I was reading were people who were not planning to be in cold environments, or people in factory RV's with the heated underbelly.

I don't have a lot of experience, mostly just research. Batteries and solar if you aren't electric heavy. Generator and fuel would probably be lighter if you are using a lot of power or the A/C. I know you can build a big solar setup to use a lot of power, but you also need a bigger battery...

Sharp looking truck. I went with two tone on my '17 lariat to get away from the chrome bumper. The bronze fire metallic, and the caribou don't look to bad together. I'm planning on going with 275/70R18's to bump up to a 33" on the stock suspension, have read that with my 3.55 gears I should...

If your tank is a standard RV style tank, then you have a whole bunch of options for remote level indicators. I say level indicator, because I don't consider the 4 LED's to be a gauge. As far as temp gauge, well I can honestly say I've never really heard of people putting one in (but I'm still...

I don't think it looks too bad. I mean after all you put a roof top tent on the roof. Looks unique on a truck, as most images I've seen they are on rails in the bed.

From what I have read on F150 forums that tire size should be fine on stock suspension. They are similar in size to what I'm looking at, and everything I've read is they don't rub.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not to worried about stealth, but the habitat can be had with solid panel instead of rear window. So I could sleep in the bed in a pinch. As far as electric. I was thinking of just making a battery box part of the build in the bed. If I go with AGM I don't have to...

In the email I got a tunnel was referenced. I wonder if that is similar to what you've done. Thanks for the pictures. Helping me with my decision on going with the habitat vs a RTT. I'm sold on the standing up in the bed, inside the tent instead of a ladder. Will be easier to rig something...

I have to send in my measurements when I get home, but has anyone actually gotten one for an 8ft box yet?

I guess the nice thing is with my truck already around the 20ft mark, I'm used to 3 point turns, and little wider turns around corners. Might build out the truck for my Alaska adventure, and possible central America trip. Have heard some towns have low power lines, and narrow roads. But your...

Making me rethink putting an AT habitat on my truck. A mini skoolie might hold up better to my plans of full timing than flipping open the habitat all the time.

I see people say both it's hard, and it's easy. I feel if you are moderately computer literate it's not that bad. It helps that they have a whole document on the f150 forums with all the break downs on what you need to change for the feature you want. After getting a cable, I went with USB...

So it's not letting me edit my post here at work, so after looking it up I'm seeing that the 3.5 ecoboost comes with the 9.75 rear end. On a side note now that I can see your signautre. How do you like the RCI skids? I was looking at them, and go rhino raptor style steps. I don't know if I'd...

I have the max tow, and have read it's the same as the max payload. I just have lighter springs, and slightly thinner frame than max payload trucks. That's why I am thinking of going with the habitat since it's under 1,000 lbs.

Yeah I looked at them, and saw a lot of people running them on Tacoma's. However if it's long term I want to be within weight specs. I don't care to push my luck. I'd be the 1 guy who has the swiss cheese line up, and have an accident. Did kick the idea around of a used 250 and going with a...

The only pic I could find on my phone of the truck.

I've got the 3.5 EcoBoost with the 10 speed, and have read of a few people having issues with that gear setup and larger tires. So before I go with bigger tires gonna just go up slightly first, roughly an inch taller.

I'm going off what I remember reading, but I think I remember stock Raptor 35's fit with just a leveling kit. Most people recommend UCA's when doing a 2-2.5" level. The tires I was looking at are around 32-33, I just need to convert the specs again to see what overall size they are 275/70R18...

Nice looking truck. Almost went with that color on my 150, but settled on the bronze fire.

Thanks. I'm not sure I'll go with 35's. Have been reading on f150 forum how the 3.55's don't do so well with 35's on up. Either way I go I want a tire with good traction for the odd occasion I'd need something more aggressive than a highway tread.
