Hi all,

Is it possible to have a 50 amp outlet wired from my Ford F-350 to allow me to plug in the 50 amp service that the Montana requires?

I understand that I could wire the batteries together for charging, but say for example if I’m boondocking and I want to run both AC units for 10-20 minutes to cool the coach down. With the Diesel engine running it for a bit should be no problem.

And with the upfitter switches my understanding is that the Ford has 330 amps of power available? But when I talk to local Ford folks as well as truck customization folks, they tend to think I’m a bit looney. I get it, I am, but still I think this is within the capabilities of the systems?

Anyone ever do anything like this?
Thanks for your time.
