  1. Best path to 12v battery for flat towing

    As previously mentioned, the best thing is to use the jump points in the hood to to charge the Mav battery when towing. I installed an RVI Brakeshaow unit on my Mav and that has a built in battery charger function. Double check your RV. I have a 2018 Coachman, and Coachman does NOT run a 12v hot...
  2. After flat towing start battery is dead!

    Earlier this year, I set my Maverick up for flat towing using my 2018 Coachman Class A. Coachman did not run a 12v wire to the 7 pin on the back of the RV. I had to add that. I ran a 12ga fused wire from the battery with a 20amp fuse to the 7 pin. My brake system (RVI Brakeshadow) uses a 20amp...
  3. The Wife Says I Need to Leave the Club

    Like everybody else, I have bought lots of accessories. Maybe 1 or 2 I really didn't NEED. My wife would just look and maybe shake her head or roll her eyes. She never gave me a hard time, but she failed to see the utility of a rear seat garbage bag holder. So every time I put some trash in...
  4. Another 12V Drain First Flat Tow of the 24 Maverick Hybrid Lariat

    That sucks about the "Professional Installer", but at least you have discovered and fixed the problem and that issue is now in your rear view mirror.
  5. Another 12V Drain First Flat Tow of the 24 Maverick Hybrid Lariat

    Just wondering... After getting the Maverick into neutral tow that you turned the accessory off? Also probably just a prudent thing to do, is to pull the inline fuses from your brake system and charger when you are not using those. RVI told me the power it pulls when it is not on is like a...
  6. Another 12V Drain First Flat Tow of the 24 Maverick Hybrid Lariat

    I recently personally installed similar products on my Maverick. I did RVI brakeshadow and roadmaster components. I have a 2018 Coachman Pursuit. The first thing I checked was the 7 way to be sure it was properly wired. It was properly wired, but Coachman doesn't run a 12V wire to the back. They...
  7. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    Honestly, I can't say what was "first". Shortly after bringing my 2024 Lariat Hybrid home in late February of 2025, I went CRAZY ordering stuff. For now I am done with accessories, but to date I have: EGR hood deflector EGR window deflectors EGR wheel well flares Gator tri-fold hard cover...

    I wasn't against buying a '25, but the inventory of Hybrids was super limited at the dealerships. The place I got mine from only had 3, (all '24) and one of those had a sold sign in it. I did get a price I was happy with.

    So, I can't stop buying stuff. 😀The other day I ordered 4 more 'little' things: Glove box organizer Center console organizer Box for the cubby hole next to the screen Trash bag holder for the rear seat. I might have to go to Maverick Rehab? Wait, rehab is for QUITTERS, I'm not a QUITTER!

  13. 2024 Mav XLT Hybrid advice on flat tow buildout.

    I recently got my 24 Lariat setup for towing. Thanks to everyone who has posted about that topic. I did: Roadmaster direct connect baseplate Roadmaster nighthawk towbar RVI Brakeshadow w/command center When installing the Brakeshadow I could NOT get the cable end to feed thru the 5/16" hole the...

    I should try it. I'm only averaging like 34 mpg now. I do need to read threads on how to get my average up. All the main roads where I live are like 45 mph roads so that may have something to do with it. BTW the motorhome is more like 7 or 8 depending on the wind. I ignore the receipts at the...
  15. New Guy - Going broke buying accessories

    Yes, just like my house and RV, my Maverick is sucking up money. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between needs and wants. I really think I need to upgrade my 70" TV to an 80". I had to edit my original post twice because I forgot about things I bought. It's better to die broke and...
  16. New Guy - Going broke buying accessories

    This is my first posting. I'm very nervous. 😳 First, I want to thank everyone that takes time to put up posts. I have read hundreds of posts since I got my Maverick. They have been very helpful. At the end of February, it was time to say goodbye to my 17 yr old 2007 Cadillac DTS. We wanted the...
