- Curt Trailer Hitch for 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with 144 Inch Wheelbase
- As long as your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the 144 inch wheelbase is equipped with the standard bumper (not the step bumper) the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13388 that you referenced will fit and work perfectly.
This Class III hitch features a 6,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 600 pound tongue weight limit. Please note that during installation you will need to drill some holes into the bottom of the Sprinter's frame. I have attached the complete installation instructions...

- While the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH22G is indeed a fantastic rack, it is not rated for use behind a motorhome, so I can't recommend going that route, even with air shocks on your motorhome.
I do have a really good option for a bike rack that is indeed rated for use behind a motorhome, is lightweight, and has a rise in the shank for excellent clearance; the rack is made by Hollywood Racks:
- Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR
This rack can be...

- The different Safari Rack packages are due to hardware adapter kits for various vehicles. In the case of the Sprinter 2500 you will need:
Surco # SPS5084 Safari Rack
Surco # TC97FR Crossbars 60"
Surco # SPCH100 Adapters (order 2)
Surco # R6200 Roof Rails 62" long
It will be a couple of days before the TC97FR we added to our catalog comes live on our site, and at least one of the other parts is out of stock at this time. However, this combination is the only way I see to get this nice...

- If it were me I would go with Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs up to 30' Long - 4" Diameter - Qty 2 Item # UF48-979014 because the wheels can swivel. On Ultra-Fab Hitch Mounted Steel Rollers for RVs w/ 2-1/2" Hitch Tubing - 3" Diameter - Qty 2 Item # UF48-979017 the wheels are fixed. Having wheels that can swivel means they are more effective if you are not traveling in a straight line!

- I do have options for you but the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger part # 331-BCDC1240D would not accept AC current from shore power and then use that to charge your two AGM batteries while disconnected from the tow vehicle. The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger would still be needed while driving but when parked you would need to install a power converter to charge the batteries using shore power.
The correct power converter will vary depending on the A/h of your batteries...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500
- Yes, for your 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 the Draw Tite hitch part # 75549 is a fit and my recommendation for your application as it has the capacity you need and installs easily as well. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
To install a 7-way all you need is the # TK22115 and then the easiest solution for a brake controller is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to your smart phone is ready...

If you also want to add some front suspension support I recommend the Timbren # TMBFSP35. This will add to the rear support to create a much more stable ride in your...

- The 2020 Mercedes G Wagon is not pre-wired for a brake controller so to install the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR you would need to convert the 4-way of the vehicle to a 7-way with the kit part # ETBC7 which also comes with everything needed to wire in a brake controller as well.

- If your 2020 Mercedes Benz GLS has the factory 7-way you can easily install the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR with just the install harness part # 3066-P. If you do not have a 7-way you'd have to install a 4-way like part # 119250KIT with the 7-way adapter # ETBC7 so that you could install a wireless brake controller like the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180.
To find someone to do the install best option is to find a local mechanic to you with a good reputation and let them tackle the...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2017 Siesta RV
- For your Siesta RV that uses the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, I recommend installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This is an excellent proportional controller that will activate your trailer's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your RV. It will work well with LED trailer lights because it does not use any taillight circuits for activation.
To install the controller, you will just need a few items, depending on...

- For the 315/40R21 size tires on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 I recommend going with the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH02230K77 for a few reasons; the first is that this is a premium tire chain that installs on the front-facing side of the tire/wheel and the tire tread so you don't have to worry about clearance, and the second is that this is the only chain set that will fit your specific tire size.
The initial installation of these chains does take a little bit of...

view full answer... - Is the P3 Brake Controller a Good Choice for a 2018 Mercedes Metris
- The P3 brake controller # 90195 is a fantastic brake controller and since it is not vehicle specific it can be used with your 2018 Mercedes Metris provided that it did not come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector (you would need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, # 119250KIT, and use install kit # ETBC7 to complete the installation).
If it did come with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then I do not recommend the P3 and instead I recommend the Curt Echo...
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Controller And Wiring For 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
- The trailer wiring I recommend for your 2011 Sprinter is the T-One, part # 118650. This attaches to the vehicle wiring located in the rear cargo area behind the tail lightson both sides of the Sprinter. You will need to remove some of the interior panels to gain access to the connection points. You will then need to run the hot lead wire to the positive battery post using the included fuse holder.
The brake controller I recommend for you is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller,...
view full answer... - Recommended SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs For 2019 Mercedes-Benz 3500
- The highest rated helper springs for the front of your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 2WD are the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-106-47 which have a 1000lb load rating and do a great job of minimizing sway and body roll. Front helper springs do not need to be rated as high as added cargo/trailer weight will not affect that axle like it would the rear axle.
Unfortunately you cannot use the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-338-54 or any...
