    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Yes, it seems that despite having implemented "smart charging" on the Ford 2020-2022 Super Duty platform, it may still be possible to charge house batteries without a DC/DC converter. At least that has been my experience with the PCM calibration on my 2022 F250... I have dual generators (240A...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Yep, I can confirm that even loaded with the camper the 7.3 lopes along effortlessly at 1500 rpm in top gear. I’ve had a dozen fill-ups in the 14-15 mpg range (calculated), so the aerodynamics are not significantly affected by the camper…

    ***SOLD*** 2020 Northstar Laredo SC Truck Camper - 40 Gallon H2O - LiFePO4 Battery - 1000W Inverter - 30A DC/DC Charger - $19,900

    Although a bit awkward, it is possible to remove the cap and fill the tank with the camper on a short bed truck (in my case Ford 6' 9" bed). There is enough room to insert a diesel pump nozzle into the tank and fill. The external diesel tank would have to relocated if the camper was installed...

    ***SOLD*** 2020 Northstar Laredo SC Truck Camper - 40 Gallon H2O - LiFePO4 Battery - 1000W Inverter - 30A DC/DC Charger - $19,900

    I bench tested a generic 2kW unit from amazon, but had ignition problems with the unit blowing grey smoke and not lighting off consistently. Replacing the burn chamber resolved the problem. It appears that some of the generic 2kW units at the time were shipping with a sub-par burn chamber that...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Yes, we air down as low as conditions and anticipated speeds will allow. Pole saw is definitely handy and ours gets a lot of use. I'm sure we'll continue to use it with the pop-up, just hopefully not as frequently as is required with the Laredo... ? Thanks for the feedback on your suspension...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Hey Peter, I have a 2017 F350 with a Laredo SC that my wife and I have been enjoying since Feb 2020. This is our first truck camper and we feel like it has been a good compromise between comfort and agility, although we have had to turn back on several occasions while exploring rough tracks in...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Hey Peter, I have a 2020 NS Laredo SC and have worried about ripping the roof edge as you described in your 1st year review video. I have thought about installing SS grab bars along the roof edge to act like tree branch sliders, but have not followed thru because of the added weight up high...

    jefe's hardside camper hauler

    Jefe- I have a similar TC combination (2017 F350 PSD w/ 2020 Laredo SC) and submit the following for your consideration. I have attempted to address two issues at once. Trail sway (camper getting tossed side to side from rocks/holes on rougher roads) and departure clearance for a hitch...
