“Opposites attract.”

Love it! When is your build date? Let’s camp for sure once you get your Packout Camper installed on your Mav. Not as much as I‘d like to. Only little upgrades here are there since the install. Major projects coming up include ACC upgrade, camper roof rack build, truck roof rack build, and...

@OP Here are some phone pics of my rig. I can’t take credit for taking them though. 😝

Looks great. Congrats!

Thanks for sharing @joewdunbar! The MTC community is rooting for you. 🤞🏼 I’m in a simlar situation as you and am planning to drive the Mav across the country (and back) in the summer. I can’t have my rig just shutdown and held at the dealer because it will also be my house during the trip.

I am taking my Mav in for a warranty claim on two weeks to fix my broken spare tire winch. I put in the service request and going to insist my Service Rep write NO RECALLS in the service notes. If they insist on the recalls I’m driving off to deal with the winch another day.

Sorry this is happening to you but thanks for sharing your experiences and the advice on the 5-10 minute power cycle.

@WeBasic How tall is the prinsu from the roof after install?

I bought a 24 pack of these but they also sell them in a 6 pack. https://a.co/d/drxMBHK

Since Day 1 I’ve always found the Maverick seats uncomfortable. Especially in the front part of the seat. I feel like it already presses against my thigh. Last thing I would want is to raise the front higher.

Quick update: I change my approach and just installed neodymium bar magnets in between the tailgate cover (which I’ll refer to as the “hatch”) and the tailgate itself. As pictured the magnets were too strong and so I ended up removing two of the magnets (2nd away from each end). Even with...

@bgn here is a good video on dc-to-dc conversion for the Delta 2. I run this exact setup.

This was my experience as well. I paid for my car in full via a cashiers check and had to wait over two weeks for my cashiers check to clear for my dealer to release my truck. I gave an unsatisfactory survey response and was continually asked to redo it. I never did because I was really was...

I didn’t know it doesn’t like the modified sine wave. Never actually tried charging through AC in the Mav. Good to know. I run the bed 12V into a Victron Orion dc-to-dc converter (12 to 30Vdc) which then goes into Delta 2 via the XT60i Solar charge connector. Here’s a link to the one I run...

Another quick update. Teaser vid from Packout Campers on my Maverick. You can see the inside before my part of the build-out.

I’m taking the rig cross country in the summer and dispersed camping along the way. Not camping in Indiana but I am camping in PA at Clarion River. Can’t vouch for it personally yet but it’ll do to meet my overnight needs. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/allegheny/recarea/?recid=6140

That was my thinking too and what I use in my setup. Plus I got to use my pre-tax salary via my Health Savings Account (HSA) which I also to stock my camping first aid kits.

@TCPTX65 Have you had a recalls done recently?

I have some Scosche Pro2 mounts on the way. They are kind of pricey but well reviewed in the off-road / overlander community. Also check out 67 Designs which are also well received. I can’t vouch one way or another as I have not used any of them yet.
