thanks and... I have reached out to ARB – as my rig (pickup truck plus truck camper ALWAYS on the back of truck) is about 10,000 lbs wet (loaded) To ask them what ARB SNATCH STRAP is most suitable for recovery? the “medium” one ARB SNATCH STRAP – 24,000 LBS minimum breaking strength – PART NO...

ps. this is a good, related article, and it explains why I do not want to buy a tow strap, even if it is called something else on the package. My research indicates that kinetic Recovery Ropes are a LOT safer for everyone involved, and is also safer for both vehicles, (far less jerk on the...

Best *mid priced* Kinetic Recovery Rope? Hi all We like to go camping 4 seasons, and off the beaten path. Want to carry a 30 foot *mid priced* Kinetic Recovery Rope, just in case we get stuck, or come across someone who needs help. 7,000 lb 4x4 truck and about 3,000 lb (wet/loaded) truck...

Thanks for the good ideas my theory in having them be yellow ditch lights is that it should hopefully be obvious that they are on - being yellow. we shall see. :-)

yeah i saw that - our 2020 does seem to have a "plastic plug in the unused fog/driving light cutout on the front bumper" but i could not figure out how to remove it... also i could not figure out how to mount the "flood/spots" in there and get aimed at the ditches as much as I want.... so i...

Good thoughts. Thanks.

Mount “ditch spots” on tow hooks? / legality / clamps? Hi all For times when driving country roads with no one around, it might be nice to have some “ditch” spots to throw more light ahead to help spot deer. I’d put them on an up fitter switch (I have the Ford ones) There is no...

thanks and sadly i believe The Curve is discontinued.... i would hesitate to buy a discontinued one. https://www.thetford.com/product/porta-potti-curve/

What PortaPotti / Camco portable toilet (or similar) has biggest seat and bowl? I’d much prefer a manual one, not a battery operated pump such as the 550E Curve. I dont want a WagBag or similar. The Leopard Outdoor T-Type Three Directional Flush Portable Travel Toilet - 5.3 Gallon - is...

We'll have a very nice truck camper on our very nice new F350... and for the price of the Ravelco..... (I got a military discount from my local installer to make it $550) pretty much knowing that it very likely wont ever be stolen is likely worth the admission. Plus we'll get an added discount...

anyone else have a Ravelco? I am seriously thinking about it.

It is my understanding that in current (new) Hallmarks there is some insulation in the floor. If I recall correctly.

thanks... some say good, some dont know yet.... the jury is out so far. ;-)

bumper MOUNTS front 2020 SuperDuty F350 100% same as 2019? Hi all I am probably going to buy a 3rd party aluminum front bumper / deer catcher for our forthcoming SuperDuty 2020 F350. (I specifically want aluminum - and i have one picked out) and i know visually the front bumper looks a...

Thanks everyone for the great info. :-) Perhaps I will take the stock OEM fog lights out of the stock OEM bumper and somehow mount them into the Aluminess bumper. Solves a bunch of problems... except I have NO idea how I would physically mount the Ford fog lights into the Aluminess. I'm no...

yes, indeed, the stock regular headlights on SuperDuty are terrible. I coughed up the $$$ for the LED headlights that are supposedly much much better. many people suggested i do so. :-)

who uses Fog lights? / Hella 500 / OEM connector->F350 Hi all So I am curious to know how often do people use Fog lights? I live in the midwest now (just moved here) and if I was camping, and the fog was really bad… I would wait it out. I am likely going to get an aftermarket front...

thanks - our 4X4 will be a few inches higher than non (not sure if you have 4x4) and also I'll need to deal with the AluCab 270 to open and close it... pretty sure i will need something to step on for that alone :-) J

To clarify - no, the Hallmark has it's own fold out stairs that attach to bumper. but this 3 step looks super sweet... and as I get older I like the handle thing.... can never be too careful, especially after a long day of driving and then 1/2 a beer. ;-) thanks for posting!

Hi all In a few months we get our Hallmark RV (yay!) and I'll need to purchase in advance a good wide folding stool for this pop up truck camper: so I can open and close the roof latches , and also deploy the AluCab 270 awning. Any guesses as to how tall of the wide folding stool or platform...

Update: I *think* I will likely go with this new solution below…. to be determined. New info that I just learned today is below. So i think I will buy a new, OEM Ford tailgate camera from Ford - identical to what is in my forthcoming F350 SuperDuty. (just the camera alone) ¿ Anyone have any...

Super helpful - thanks. :-) I wonder if it is "360 camera compatible" ? I am trying to find out if the tailgate cameras are physically different between stock backup camera and 360 camera backup cam. anyone happen to have a part # handy? that would help me narrow it down. :-) thanks! J

Hi all So my main question is - how difficult is it to fish the stock Ford SuperDuty tailgate reverse camera + camera wires out of the actual tailgate? (that has the tailgate ladder in it) I am assuming the 2020 would be similar to the 2019. Google did not provide any info so far. The story...

Heya - we get ours Feb or March. thanks for the offer of answering questions - much appreciated. :)

Nice write up! and congrats. i have our Hallmark on order. Also with Truma Combi Plus. very excited. cheers J
