Hello Low-ball, I haven't had a chance to tow my Maverick yet but it is set up and ready to go. I did practice switching it to Neutral Tow mode as described in the manual. Pretty easy. Can't wait to tow it behind the motorhome. I have the Roadmaster set up along with my old break buddy brake system that I still use on my GMC canyon. Which system are you using?
Roadmaster sent me a universal diode wiring light kit along with the base plates. I have only plugged them in one time for testing. They worked. The Roadmaster requires that the lower shutters be cut off and that made me very hesitant but it's done now. I understand that the blue ox set does not interfere with the shutters at all. Here is a pic of my setup.
Thank you. This is an older style tow bar called stowmaster 5000, it is a folding one that stays on the road but also has a quick disconnect to easilily remove it while not in use.
I haven't had an opportunity to tow it yet but I read on one of the towing threads that it does not. We shall see.
I have a 2018 Sprinter LTV Class C and I just had my 2022 Hybrid Lariat set up to be towed. Previously had a Wrangler for toad and had all the Blue Ox equipment so I went with the Blue Ox Base Plate, Blue Ox Tow Bar and Patriot II braking system. After seeing someone else post a Roadmaster baseplate I must admit I like the looks of it a lot more than the Blue Ox. I just went with Blue Ox to save money. I took it out yesterday for test run behind my RV, went to CATS scale and Maverick weighed 3860 lbs compared to my Wrangler was 4780 lbs, so now I can take 900 lbs more stuff I don’t need ha. Easy set up for towing, I use portable trailer lights. Only issue I see is the Patriot II plugs into cigarette lighter and it only stays energized for 90 minutes after turning off accessories. Sorry for the long post, my first post on this forum.
