Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz Sprinter


  • Tire Chains for a 2014 Roadtrek RS Adventurous RV with 215/85-16 Tires
  • For Thule tire chains, the XB-16 chains are what they recommend for Vans and RVs. Some of the tires sizes for these different vehicles overlap so that is why you see both when you enter a tire size or go through the fit guide. I would go with the XB-16 chains, # TH01571245, since they are designed for for RVs. Class S chains require the least amount of clearance around the tire and are typically required on minimal clearance vehicles. The XB-16 chains are not Class S compatible meaning...

  • Installing Prodigy P3 Brake Controller on 2016 Forest River Forester on Sprinter 3500 Chassis
  • I can help you find the parts you will need to install a Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 on your 2016 Forest River Forester on a Sprinter 3500 chassis. The P3 will need to be hardwired since there is not a custom wiring harness available for the 2016 Sprinter 3500. The parts you will need to install the brake controller are: Approximately 35 feet of duplex wire # 10-2-1 30 amp circuit breaker # 38630 A 5 pack of 10-12 heat shrink butt connectors # DW05745-5 2 yellow ring...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  • The load that you are carrying on a daily basis is causing your 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 to sag and bottom out. You will need suspension enhancement and I strongly recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TMBRSP25A. These work independently of one another so if an uneven load in the back of your van that you would still be level when driving. These springs do not require drilling to install or any maintenance after you have them installed.

  • Windshield Cover for 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  • We do have window covers that fit your 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter though the Camco SunShield Reflective Motor Home Window Cover # CAM45164 you referenced is a universal fit, so while it will certainly work to shield your Mercedes from the sun, it is not designed specifically to fit your van. It measures 62" x 30" so if you like you can certainly take a quick measurement of your windshield to see if it matches that of the SunShield. Otherwise there are a pair of covers that are confirmed...

  • Is Just the Tuner or Antenna of the SiriusXM Vehicle Tuner Needed if You Have an XM Radio Already
  • The SiriusXM Vehicle Tuner with Magnetic Mount Antenna # SXV300V1 is designed to be used with SiriusXM ready stereos. This would be a stereo that can accept the SiriusXM cable but does not already have the antenna or tuner. If that is what you mean by XM radio, then you would need the entire SiriusXM Vehicle Tuner with Magnetic Mount Antenna # SXV300V1 (tuner and antenna). If by already having an XM stereo, you mean it had a functioning SiriusXM already, then the antenna and tuner would...

  • Six Button Wall Mount Control for MaxxFan Deluxe 00-07500K
  • The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke # MA00-07500K is not compatible with the old 4 key wall control.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Class C Motorhome
  • The best way to enhance the ride of your 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Class C Motorhome is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar because they are a vast improvement over the OEM sway bars and their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for maximum efficiency in terms of better overall handling. The anti-sway bar that fits your rig is the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Vans # RM-1209-131 which is going to greatly improve how your motorhome performs when encountering those...

  • Rear Anti-Sway Bar for a 2015 Mercedes Sprinter Class C Motor Home
  • Roadmaster rear anti-sway bar # RM-1209-131 will fit a 2015 Mercedes Sprinter 3500, Class C. And it retains the factory anti-sway bar. Rear anti-sway bar # RM-1209-120 fits both the regular van models and RV cut-away models and replaces the factory anti-sway bar. An RV cut-away is just the van cab part and a different motor home body put on the rest of the chassis. If you happen to have a 2500 model then you would use # RM-1209-128. And if the vehicle did not come with a factory anti-sway...

  • Recommended Adhesive for the Thule Elite Van XT Bike Rack on a 2014 Sprinter
  • For the Thule Elite Van XT, part # TH302043, Thule recommends Dekalin MS 5, SIKA 252 or Terostat MS937 glue. A 2-way tape can accomplish this, however I recommend going with one of the glues. Finding a 2-way tape that can handle that amount of weight is difficult. Plus, speaking from experience, 2-way tape fails much more than glue (when they are rated for the same weight). The glue is your best bet.

  • Roadmaster Sway Bar Recommendation for 2015 Pleasure Way FL Class B RV on Sprinter Chassis
  • I apologize for any confusion but the correct Roadmaster Sway Bar kit for your 2015 Mercedes Benz Sprinter Class B RV is the part # RM-1209-120. The part # RM-1209-131 is for the Class C chassis which you do not have. I found the answer Mike H. did that you referenced and he does recommend the 1209-131 for a Sprinter 3500 Class C RV but I can see how it would be confusing.

  • Combination 7-Way & 4-Pole Vehicle Connector
  • Hopkins does offer a combination 7-Way and 4-Way Trailer Connector # 30955 which has both 7-way and 4-pole connectors. This connects to the vehicle via a round U.S. Car type connector, just like the part # HM40975 that you referenced. But part # 30955 allows use of both connectors at once. If you need a pigtail harness we offer Hopkins # PK11998.

  • What Vehicle Axles Do Snow Chains Install On
  • On a 2 wheel drive vehicle you want to at least have chains on the drive axle. If it's a rear wheel drive vehicle then you would go with the rear axle and vice versa for a front wheel drive vehicle. Ideally having chains on all 4 wheels will provide you with the best possible traction for braking, turning and accelerating. Before you install chains on your vehicle you will need to check with the owners manual of the vehicle to determine if there are any restrictions on chain usage. I...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For 2014 Mercedes Sprinter 170 High Roof
  • You may be able to install Rhino-Rack RT roof tracks, however, this would require drilling into your roof and Rhino-Rack actually recommends installing legs that attach to your vehicle's OEM mounting points on the roof. For your 2014 Mercedes Sprinter 170 High Roof, you will need Rhino-Rack RLTF Legs # RLTFMS, RLTP Leg Adapters # RRVA-FK1-3, and either Vortex Aero 71" Crossbars Silver # RRVA180S-3 or Black # RRVA180B-3. This setup provides 3 aerodynamic crossbars that have the t-slot channel...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2014 Thor Chateau Citation 24SA on Mercedes Sprinter 3500 Chassis
  • The only trailer hitch we carry that may work for your 2014 Thor Chateau Citation 24SA built on a Mercedes Sprinter 3500 chassis is a frame-mounted RV hitch. The Curt # C13702 is for RVs that have a frame which is between 18" and 51" wide while the Ultra-Fab # UF35-946403 works with frames that are between 47" and 77". Each is designed to be used on I-beam, C-channel or box frames, though the Ultra-Fab is meant to be used with accessories only, while the Curt can be used for towing purposes.

  • Can The Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack TH302043 Be Used For A Trike?
  • Hello Andrew. That is definitely an interesting idea. I really cannot recommend modifying the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack # TH302043 in the way you described. Not only would this void your warranty, but there is no guarantee that the rack will be able to support a bike in this way. Not to underestimate your modification skills, but I cannot in good conscience recommend doing that. That said, there are no other options for carrying a trike on the back of a van like this. If you are...

  • Suspension Enhancement Options for Winnebago View Based on 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
  • We do have suspension enhancement products for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 on which your Winnebago View is built. These are displayed on the linked pages and include jounce-style bumper springs and a leaf spring kit # SSA11MTKT from Super Springs that works with the 2WD model. You do not mention the specific ride quality issue you're trying to fix but typically Class C RVs suffer from sway more than anything else. Rubber jounce springs stiffen the rear end, not exactly what...
