Check out what's available form ROSTRA. They have some stuff for trucks that no longer have a tailgate.
Keep Your Camera System When Removing Your Tailgate
That might help with being able tpo add one that interfaces with the factory head unit.

So...it looks like you have to get the dual tires mounted such that the valves are opposite each other??? Is that due to the length of the airline hanging out and about??

I will have the dealer do that.
I assume once that's done that it's relatively easy to hook up the crossfire hoses yourself?

I found it to be a relatively simple installation following what @sseaner did here:

2. Ram start/stop button isn't registering my key fobs. I have to push the start button with the key fob several times to get it to start and turn on the ignition. Changed the batteries in the key fob with no luck so I think the receiver in the dash might need to be replaced.
3. Emergency brake light stays on after disengaging the E brake. I have to drive a bit and work the E brake (at a stop) a few times until the light goes out. Could be a sensor or something else. Brake fluid is topped off and I don't believe the brakes are actually on when driving hence a sensor issues..

Question 2 - I don't have a ram. Search year model and remote reprogramming. Not right.
3. SERIOUS problem. Sounds like the auto adjusters aren't working. Try adjusting the brakes. You might want to pull apart and grease the adjustment screws. You should tighten them until the drum just starts to drag or you hear the shoe dragging a small bit on the drum.

#2 the ram has the keyfob sensor on the back wall of the cab. I believe it is behind the driver seat as a result of the hole being cut in the back wall of the cab.

Key fob receiver is definitely behind the drivers seat. I keep my key in my right pocket and never have an issue. I have heard of some who put the key fob in the cup holder or other places that have had issues.

I don’t believe this is a “SERIOUS” problem. I have had this issue intermittently and at first I used a rubber band to apply upward pressure to the emergency brake pedal to cause the brake light to go out.
I had my Isata 5 recently at the RAM dealer and this was on the list to look at. Not sure if I buy what he told me, but he said the emergency brake cable had been modified by the RV manufacturer when the chassis was extended. He said they was too much play in the cable and all the adjustment had been taken out of the cable, so it could not be tightened. He made a video of all of this which I posted in another thread. He said because there is not tension on the cable, it’s not pulling back when released and returning the pedal to the “off” position. I plan to look at it and see how to tighten the cable. You can see from the pictures I captured from the video that the adjustment is turned all the way in. Pretty sure Morryde does these modification for Dynamax when they extend the chassis.

Was there a conclusion on what the body should be set at? Thanks!

You could drill out or make a barrel nut. It just might add enough to take up the slack.

Update: bought a different mirror mount than the plastic ram mount. The ram mount had the camera display bouncing too much. This one is much better!

How does one check/change the air pressures for the Kelderman front set up. Nothing in the manual.

If you have the system installed at the factory there is no need to check pressure. Bag height (pressure) is set by the manual levelers. They will let air out or in to keep bag at set height.

I don't have the auto setup so do mine manually. I have to check them before every trip because do they leak a little, or atleast mine do. Great setup though ! Really smooths out the road.

I had a similar issue when I bought mine new and the dodge dealer just adjusted the brakes. Never happened again.

Guys with Lithium coach batteries. Does your AGS function work when the lith battery voltage gets too low?
Mine doesn't and know others didn't a year or more ago and I'm hoping someone found a fit to this. I believe Brian Clemens comfirmed this also, that the oem system would not engage the generator when the batts got too low. I have my rv at a good shop who is trying track this down and make it work.
Thats the only negative about switching to Lith's on this setup. Your batts can get too low and shut the electrical system down. I've posted about this before. I know there's a fix, it's just how is it going to cost.....
