Tech Stuff

USB Chargers

We use a couple of different USB chargers. I like these multi-port chargers. where you can charge several devices with only one thing plugged into the wall outlet.

Phone Mount and Coiled iPhone Cable

We use these to connect a phone and mount it above the dash. The coiled cable plugs into the USB port on the dash and the cable stays out of the way. We use Apple CarPlay and Google Maps on just about every trip in the van.

USB Cables

We use these longer cables for devices in the back of the van. Useful if you want to plug to recharge your phone while using it lying in bed.

OBD Cable

FORScan is a very useful tool for changing settings in Ford vehicles. This OBD (Onboard Diagnostics) cable will allow you to both read and write any of the settings supported by FORScan. Not all cables support all settings but this one does.

Wireless Remote Power Strip

We use this to easily turn on/off the water heater. The water heater uses a lot of power. A tip I got was to turn on the heater while driving to get the water hot, then turn off the heater before bed to save house battery power.

weBoost Cell Signal Booster

This has helped us have a usable cell signal in the van. If you have a bar of signal, this will add another bar or two.
