I have looked everywhere I can think of, and cant't find an answer. This thread comes closest to answering this: What is the "standby power" of Pro Power Onboard? Some might call it "parasitic power". An experiment to answer this would be to turn on Pro Power, leave the truck "On" with no...

Makes sense! 400W sounds crazy high for a standby mode though - I read that on another thread here too about campers. What is being powered that draws that much current?! IMO as well, that needs verification. If it is indeed that much, that would be a show-stopper. I made a lot of those...

Ken - I LOVE your design on your implementation! Amazing!! One question is why you decided to include the cost, weight, and volume of the battery and solar panel. It seems redundant to the Lightning battery....and the optimal daily charge you gain by solar is literally a minute or two at the...

I got my reservation in on 10/17/21....probably in the last 10% before they stopped taking reservations on 12/8/21. I was notified a few months ago (12/20/22) to expect to get to place my order in the summer. Got my email today. Must be a VERY low conversion rate!

Awesome! I got may name on the Lightning reservation list rather late (Oct 2021 - one of the last before it got closed). I have been thinking all along of the fully electrified camper experience. I really like the Scout Yoho but it is a hardshell so a much higher profile than the pop-up you...

@FirstF150InCasco - thanks for the work-around! I assumed this could be done. I want to be able to use Dog Mode as Camp Mode (HVAC overnight). Here are a couple questions that address that use case: How long will it stay in dog mode? Until the battery runs down to the preset level you have...

This is helpful - thanks to both of you. Makes sense. I am mainly wondering if it is possible to nap in the truck with the AC running (or heater). This would often be while charging during road tripping....which uses high power charging (noisy at times, per your responses). I doubt the HV...

I seem to remember to have read that the fan and/or compressor on the Lightning is very loud. I cannot find the source of that any more, so hopefully an owner can comment: Is that true? If so, is it the fan or the compressor?

I figured that now that production units are shipping, I'd bump this and see if someone who has a Pro SR (have any even shipped?) has the actual exact height measurement?

@astricklin - I hear you! I have done extensive research and design for a truck camper using the very lightweight Scout Yoho. I am budgeting for a 30% hit to mileage with the high profile of that. The electrified camping (glamping really) experience will be awesome! But the range/mileage...

Fact is EV's in general are not ideal for road tripping. You could take the paradigm shift you suggest even further by scheduling/planning on using the breaks constructively - like exercising, or working on your golf game, or doing work, or surfing the web (my likely solution :)). At the end...

The lack of lumbar support is a MUCH bigger issue with the PRO SR than your analysis!! In reality, you add only an hour of charge time on long trips in some long-trip scenarios by choosing PRO SR over a MUCH more expensive higher trim level with ER. This analysis should be intuitive if you...

Here is my prototype version. Not visible is the on-demand pump that works like charm! In the final electrified/Lightning version it will be great to free up space - no propane tank, no battery, no big stove....and a frunk! Running HOT water will also be an upgrade for showers and washing...

@petemill That is awesome to see you have implemented that on a hybrid (I assume). I have implemented my Lightning mock-up (below) on my ICE F-150 using propane for a stove. I use battery power to run my fridge and water pump (I have a 40 gallon RV tank strapped in the front of the bed). The...

Thanks.....and oooops (I deleted my post since I figured that out, but you had already replied).

The configuration of the Yoho lends itself well to a vent from the cab. As you see here, the rear window opening is mainly over a seating area that is far from optimal (unless you want to feel like a little kid with you legs dangling with no contact with the floor). The duct fan that I...

I have done quite a bit of planning for electrifying a Scout Yoho. I have taken the intermediate step of converting my ICE F-150 to a 'stealth' camper: - bunk bed in the backseat area (rear seats removed) - I am 5'10" and it is slightly cramped as is the lower bunk for my 5'2" wife. - pullout...

I've wondered the same thing. At the Chicago Auto show in January, they had a Pro on display, and it had a manual lumbar adjustment knob. I asked the Ford folks there if they knew if that would stay (it was a pre-production model, obviously) and they did not know. I have seen pictures with...

Does the final implementation of the Pro front seats come with the lumbar knobs? My back is telling me that this could be the deal breaker/maker!

It is where all the power stays on, and HVAC.
