Installed the Ford Trailer Camera/TPMS system last week. After seeing another Avenue owner's solution, I routed the cable down the ladder under the Door side, then across and above the coroplast out the off door side, then attached to the propane line up to the left side propane compartment...
Depending on the capacity of your truck alternator and the size of your battery bank, the lithium bank could call for a higher charge rate than the alternator can provide without compromising it over time.
Charging Lithium from Alternator
Here's a link to the 7way Pin wiring on your unit ... you can use this to check if you're wired correctly. But be careful, it's possible the charge from the truck was disconnected intentionally when lithium batteries were installed, to protect your truck alternator from being overworked trying...
IMHO, you'd just end up replacing what comes from the factory anyway, as they are low power USB outlets. They won't charge your phone quickly, and can barely charge an iPad. Find a well spec'd outlet and put in what you need.
Yes. Will install the TPMS portion when I install the camera. I'll have to have a tire shop install the sensors in the wheels. I temporarily used a TST wireless TPMS systems. I wasn't a big fan. Hope the Ford OEM works better.
Not yet ... but will in the next couple of weeks. Still planning on running up the roof chase from the basement, across the ceiling secured with strips of Eternabond.
I do the same as PrescottNorm. I usually use a meter to measure what's coming in, but when not exactly sure, I let it go until it overflows. No problems yet.
We went with the same one as Jim .. just moved down to the ReTraxOne instead of the Pro to save a little $. Installed it ourselves, not difficult. Happy so far, but as Jim said, no room for a bed toolbox (or fuel tank), but it seems worth it to us.

Happened on mine in a couple of places. around the door, along the ceiling. I just used a small screw instead of a nail, pre-drilled a hole so as not to split the wood, put a dab of glue on the backside and reattached. Filled in the small hole with some colored wood patch ... can't see a...
I have the same setup and will have installed soon. My understanding and expectation is that once installed in each wheel, along with the sensor in the trailer that connects to truck (in mine, via the Camera/TPMS add on solution from Ford ... ) it will appear on the dash along with the truck...
One thing to consider ... if you put that additional vent under the coffee bar .... is to put a damper in each line. Then you could go down there and "tune" the airflow to get it to where you want it to be. Perform your own air balance.
