Tow Brake Question.

We use the rvibrake2 and installed the battery charger. Works great with our Honda CRV. We found the battery charger very useful with the CRV, saves having to pull the radio fuse in order to tow.

Towing a MIata

True.
The 2011 Miata and the 2002 Miata are very different. Mazda makes changes every generation to the drive train. That being said, the second generation (1999 to 2005) six speed manual seems to...

Car in tow, what's yours?

Nice. Our first flat tow vehicle was 2002 Miata 6 speed. It worked great. But it turned out to be a bit small for carrying stuff we bought on the road back to the Vegas. So we switched to a 2014...

Wiring mess

We tow and our 7-pin connector works. So far so good I guess. I think I'm going to try and support the "bundle" to take the strain off the cables.

Axis/Vegas rear wiring harness - mess

Does this look like the standard wiring harness setup under the rear of a 24.1 Vegas?
Looks like it puts some strain on some of the cables.

Our Miata is a 2002 also. It has a removable hardtop, which we use a lot. Use the backup camera to check it too, since you can't tell its there while towing.

I would expect the convertor, except it boils when it's being charged by the vehicle alternator (i.e. driving down the road). I was thinking bad cell(s) also.

We just put the antenna on the dash as far forward as it it'll go and it works great. It didn't need to be outside the coach.
