This video documents an extensive 5-day camping trip at Daytona International Speedway, powered entirely by the Ford F-150 Lightning. The reviewer, Tom, successfully utilized the Lightning's Pro Power Onboard system to run a Keystone Coleman 13R camper, including AC, microwave, refrigerator, and lights, without needing external power sources. Key takeaways include the surprisingly low daily energy draw from the camper (averaging 8-10% of the Lightning's battery, or approximately 45% over five days), even with continuous AC use. The reviewer highlights the ease of use with the integrated 30-amp connection and the convenience of seeing the camper's status via the truck's display. Driving impressions with the trailer were positive, with the reviewer noting the Lightning handled the weight well and could achieve up to 1 mile per kWh with drafting. The video also touches on charging experiences at a new Ionna station and Superchargers, and explores potential aerodynamic improvements for towing. Overall, the F-150 Lightning proved to be a highly capable and practical power source for extended off-grid camping.
