Maverick Campers Operations Manual 2021
CORRECT USE OF THIS FEATURE:
-
Using the D-shackles provided attach the chain to the eyelet of the tow bar on the opposite side to the side of
the trailer of van
-
Repeat this with the opposite side to create a criss-cross pattern
-
Ensure there is enough lag in the chain to allow movement between the vehicle and the trailer whilst avoiding
the chain dragging on the ground
-
If the chain is too long, relocate the D-shackle a couple of links of chain from the end of the chain to provide
more tension
-
Tighten the D-shackles by hand until you get good resistance
-
When undoing the D-Shackles, you may find it is difficult to loosen by hand. The D-shackle bolt has a small hole
at one end which can assist with untightening by using a piece of metal or clip from the camper or van to thread
through the hole to give you more leverage. Otherwise a clamp or pair of pliers will also do the job.

These two features combined represent the strength and safety that Maverick Campers are famous for. The
combination of heavy-duty struts and springs on an independent wishbone suspension platform provides stability and
durability in challenging terrain situations but most importantly provides safety to you and your family by ensuring the
trailer performs in a safe and controlled manner. The electric brakes installed on your trailer or van mean you can stop
quickly in an emergency knowing that you are not putting unnecessary strain on your vehicle and its braking systems.
This ensures you are in complete control of you towing setup in any situation from highway driving to off-road heavy
duty 4wding.
