Adding 12V Power to my Truck Bed & Roof Top Tent

Finally finished an upgrade that I've been looking forward to for a long time! I was able to add a 12v socket to the bed of my 2019 Ford F150. It was honestly pretty simple and very inexpensive. It's also on a relay and hooked up in a way that only feeds the socket power when the ignition is on. This way anytime a drive it starts charging my Ecoflow power station but then shuts off and doesn't drain my starter battery when the truck is off.
Also ran 12v power from the Ecoflow up into the Roof Top Tent so that we can charge devices while in the tent!

What I did I ran wires directly to the battery so I get power to my bed independently with a switch and battery voltage meter with two USB connectors to charge my other equipment headlamps and phone.

Sweet! 👍

This is awesome! Now I have some kind of idea how to do this on my f150!

Thanks for watching 👍

Nice setup, simple is good. Could you give us some info on the relay and how you connected it with the line from the fuse box and the power cables? Looking forward to more videos!

I did similar on my f150. Ran a 25ft long sae cable from battery to tailgate and use it to run my diesel heater or fridge if I don't have my ecoflow

Yup, super convenient. Thanks for watching 👍

Well done 👍
I assume that the power from the truck power port you added in your bed gets plugged into the yellow XT60 port on the back of the EcoFlow via the supplied 12v to XT60 cord with the River2 Max?
That method limits you to ~100W max charging, but with the gauge of wire you used that is appropriate.
I upgraded to the River2 Pro when I got a fridge/freezer and started using the freezer portion of it. Both are great power stations though.

That is correct. I use the included 12v to XT60 cord for charging
