   Hooked it up to the RV this morning.  All lights work properly.  This is   
   good news since some people report problems with LED lights working on   
   rigs with this CANBUS system.  Good there.   
      
   Power wire still showed zero voltage, but there were signs of life.  Had   
   the wife hit the brakes and turn signals and it registered slight bumps   
   of voltage (0.01-0.03).  I've read a couple articles where the CANBUS   
   only sends power when it is demanded.  Still don't know if this is true   
   on the power/positive lead.   
      
   Wished I had thought of it before she had to go shopping, but I should   
   have turned the lights on the TOAD and see if that gave any draw.  When   
   the warden gets back, I'll give that a try.  I'll probably also install   
   the kit for power at the back of the F-150 and see how that handles it.   
   I'm pretty sure a 2011 Ford does have the CANBUS system in some manner,   
   but I don't think it would be as "smart" in 2011 as these newer systems.
