You're right. And great idea on the setup for possible future.
Our bus is solar and can run sustainable even with occasional microwave use for 10 months of the year but I can imagine the overall cost and maintenance of a full house using day to day operations that we all "need" to survive

AC in the hot HUMID south is what killed it, somewhat doable where the AC isn't fighting humidity, we were in a drought last year and our power jumped 30% this year with the added humidity in the summer months with temps/schedule the same.

I absolutely love it. Rides 10xs better than any other 2500 ive had. The Cummins is pretty cool too.

That was my next question. A tree fell on my z71 in a bad storm right before we started building our house. So when it’s finished I’ll be getting a new truck and I’m really eyeballing the new 2500 with a cummins.

My buddy has the dodge diesel and I have the ford 6.7. They are 2 very different trucks. Both have their pros and cons. I'm not going to start a pissing match on here but I'll say I would take the ford hands down for several reasons. I'll just say that you should definitely drive them both several times and pick what suits you best.

Most things on these trucks are totally subjective and personal preference. Id be happy to own any of them and wouldnt lose sleep if your thinking of buying one over the other. I drove all of them and heres the reasons i chose the ram over the ford.
1- cummins motor 2nd to none in reliability. I work with 2 guys that lemoned there f250s last yr. Mostly electrical problems.

2- the ride. Coil over rear end is amazing. I can hit rail road track and not hop off the ground.

3- the technology and 8.4" touch screen was the best by far.

4- no crappy manual hubs with plastic gears

5- price $11,000 difference and the ford didnt have heated cloth or steering wheel.

6- milage. The Cummins is the king here. I was getting 13.5 mpg pulling 2 pioneers at 75. I think you were getting 10 pulling 1.
Thats 90 more miles per tank of fuel. If both are 30 gallon tanks.

Rest is pretty subjective as far as looks ect. I love the new fords looks. Seat comfort, and ford is quiter and faster.

I have a 7.3 right now but if I don’t get a dodge it’s going to be a duramax. I’m not sold on ford diesels anymore. 3 different motors in 10 years.
