Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles Installation - 2021 Ford F-150- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the Roadmaster charge line kit on a 2021 Ford F150. Adding a charge line to your F150 is a great option because the battery stays in the accessory mode and stays on while flat towing. Your braking system always uses a little bit of 12 volt power as well. So as you're going down the road that battery's gonna wanna drain and you wanna be able to trickle charge that to make sure that it doesn't die while towing, but also you won't have to jumpstart it when you get to your campsite. Having a charge line is going to accomplish that for you. It's very simple, it just ties into your six pole and that will get the 12 volt source via your umbilical from the RV run to your circuit breaker. more

Yakima JetStream Crossbars Kit Installation - 2021 Ford F-150- Video
How's it going everyone Today we are going to be taking a look at the Yakima JetStream roof rack system, installing it and explaining how it works on our 2021 Ford F-150. So, with the F-150 we have a good amount of bed storage, but if you want to get some longer or larger items, like say a kayak, or maybe you want to use this in conjunction with like a ladder rack system to get some longer loads up on top of your roof, this is gonna be a great option to do so. So, let's take a closer look at how it works. As far as the weight capacity goes of our roof rack system, it is really robust, but you want to keep a couple things in mind, that being the fact that the system itself has a weight, the accessories that you're gonna put on 'em. Also we're going to add to that, and your roof is going to be rated for a specific weight as well. Make sure you check the owner's manual in your case, find out what that weight rating is and make sure that all of the components, including the roof rack and the accessories don't exceed that limit. more

Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit Installation - 2022 Ford F-150- Video
Hey, everybody. How's it going Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line kit here on a 2022 Ford F-150. So a battery charge line kit simply put is gonna take the motor home's battery and charge the battery here on the vehicle while you're out in tow. Now, this is important because sometimes the vehicle battery can actually drain while you're in tow. So if you arrive to your destination with a dead battery, you're gonna need a way to fix that and that's where the charge line comes into play. That's gonna ensure you never have a dead battery when you get to your campsite. more
