I have the Stay-in-Play installed as well. I highly recommend the pressure gauge and adjustment valve as well to prevent over-breaking from the system (described elsewhere in this forum). By default, the Stay-in-Play assumes power assist brakes not present on the Maverick, so you may get harder...

I have printed many things for car interiors in PETG and never had a melting failure (more than a few abuse failures though).

The relay is needed to prevent the Maverick brake lights (activated by the Brake Buddy) from overriding the turn signals from the coach. Without the relay, the rear light gets both the coach flashing signal and Maverick brake solid signals, so it can be confusing for drivers behind you.

When you leave the steering wheel free, the toad will cut into sharper turns and not follow as true behind the tow vehicle. Usually not a problem except in tight places like gas stations. But it seems some cars detect the steering motions while “off” as an error condition and you get the 4th of...

As a "native" Idahoan, I know our reputation of poor driving is likely deserved, but we NEVER had the kinds of issues in the past that we do now (since we have been "discovered" by disgruntled Californians and other migrants from expensive cost-of-living states). We rarely had 30 mph...

Good luck! Yes, it can be scary in the beginning, but once it's all buttoned up and you have a few trips under your belt, you'll wonder why you worried!! The Mav is a dream toad!

I prefer to think of that truck as the Maverick prototype.

I don’t know if this applies to the Maverick as I’ve only towed it flat, but when I dolly tow my Prius I must have the steering wheel wrapped very very tightly by the seat belt, or I get the same kind of Christmas Tree warnings and errors. I slide the drivers seat all the way forward, wrap the...

A couple of toad pulls under my belt, and no real issues. I agree with your conclusions to follow your procedures to a "T" though. Some issues are caused by various things that "disrupt" the normal Maverick stuff--like brake relay mods (the Roadmaster kit controls the brake switch function and...

I'm happy that factory fog lights are there, and I do like the bigger infotainment screen (the 22-24 version just feels like it's a low-end option), but as someone who bought the Mav as a flat-tow vehicle, I don't get relocating the radar package lower. That takes away baseplate options from...

I have the Demco brake system, but have only about 500 toad miles on it. As described elsewhere in the forum, I was concerned about the amount of air pressure on the brake system and how hard the brakes were being applied even at low speed, so I installed a regulator to back down the pressure...

Yours is the first I've heard of a Diehard A4 flooded failing in a hybrid Mav. I've already changed to 95% via Forscan--hope that keeps my own Diehard alive. No deep sleep issues since putting in the Diehard, but if I have issues, I will be going the AGM route. No tolerance for battery issues...

Well said!!

My first thought was that I hadn't fully seated that connector, but it's only a two-wire connection (like any speaker) and I am getting that ticking sound, so I have to believe that connection is good (and removing the fascia again will be my last resort). Hoping for the easy, under the...

I have just started getting this error as well. I may not be saved by warranty, as I relocated the speaker slightly for my Demco baseplate install. If it is the under-the-backseat module, however, maybe I will have a warranty repair. For what it is worth, I am also hearing a faint, rhythmic...

Looks really good and solid. Wish I had had the time to do it your way, but had to get ready to bug out, and the wife was getting nervous... If I had it to do over, i definitely would have attached the wiring mounts to the baseplate. Well done!

I screwed it into the facia bar directly using U-clips you can get at any auto store or Harbor Freight. The clip fits around the plastic fin in the grill and gives it at least a little support. I don't expect it to last too long, though. If you have a heavy umbilical, or if it gets a little...

Another thank you for your fine write-up about the Demco baseplate install. Finally got mine on, and your instructions were invaluable. 2024 Lariat, and I cancelled my Roadmaster order after reading your post and got the Demco. There as a manufacturing change in February (well, they added a...

And now folks without left arms are at risk!
