We do carry tire chains that will fit a 275/35-20 tire size. There are 2 options. First is the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair, # PW1042, that you have referenced. This is a basic set of chains designed for occasional use. The second option is Glacier Square-Link Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair, # TC1146. The square links in these chains offer more grip on snowy or icy roads. For either set it is recommended to use Glacier Rubber Adjusters for Class S Snow Chains - 1 Pair, # PW100, to... view full answer...
For your 2016 Audi A8 the nicest trunk mounted rack we offer that has also been confirmed as a fit is the Thule OutWay # TH45JV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.
The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can... view full answer...
Yes, out of all the trunk mount bike racks we carry I do recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV, for your 2016 Audi A8.
I have an older version of this rack and it is by far the easiest trunk mount rack I have ever used. What makes it so easy are the 2 retractable cables it uses to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 straps like other carriers.
The excess cable stores inside the carrier so there are no loose ends flapping around. The cables are also more durable compared to the straps. And... view full answer...
Starting with the roof rack itself, the Rhino-Rack 2500 Roof Rack referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2014 Audi A8L without existing rails or crossbars. This system consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the 49 inch long Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK314 for the Custom Fit Kit.
This roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 pounds, making it more than strong enough to support the Yakima SkyBox NX 16 Cargo Box # Y95AV that you also referenced. You will just... view full answer...
While there isn't a multi-purpose ball mount that doesn't have a rise we do have MaxxTow ball mount # MT70066 which, out of the options, has the least amount of drop at 1-5/8 inches.
Another possible option to carry bikes on # TH9056 and tow the trailer at the same time is to use a front mount trailer hitch and carry the bikes at the front. If you think this is a viable option let me know the year, make, and model of the tow vehicle and I can see if there is a front hitch for it.

The only hitch option for your 2009 Audi A8 is the light-duty Class I hitch # C11199, which is indeed rated for a low 150-lbs of tongue weight (TW).
Hitch makers design their hitches based on the weight capacity of the host vehicle's frame; if a car can handle only 150-lbs of TW then there is no way to bolt-on more capacity by installing a higher-rated hitch. It is the old rule of the weakest link in the chain; even if there were a 300-lb-rated hitch for your car it would not help since... view full answer...
For your 2016 Audi A8L, there are many roof cargo boxes that will fit the Rhino-Rack roof rack. I've attached an article on Rooftop Cargo Carriers to assist. I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - AeroSkin Black, # TH6357B. This is a low-profile box that measures 74-3/4 x 33 x 18 inches. It has pre-installed Quick Grip mounting clamps that provide a 5-minute installation on your crossbars with simple turn dials on the inside of the carrier. It has included locks... view full answer...
If you used the Curt 7-Way to 5 or 4-way # C35FR that you referenced with a trailer that has a 5-way then yes, the reverse light circuit will be active. If you used it with a 4-way then no it would not. That fifth circuit is for reverse lights.
There would be no noticeable load or drain on the vehicles electrical system from the wiring of this adapter either.
If you needed just a 7-way adapter that will work on the German cars that are sensitive to the LED trailer lights you would want... view full answer...
The roof rack I recommend for a 2015 Audi A8L is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK314 because you can use the system for multiple bike racks or water sport accessories like kayaks since it has a crossbar overhang and longer crossbars.
Please note, Rhino-Rack is the only option for a 2015 Audi A8L due to the long wheelbase. view full answer...
I get where you're coming from, but the only time manufacturers mention the weight rating being reduced is when an extender is used, because then you're extending the accessory that much further out from your hitch receiver/vehicle. In the case of the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # UF48-979033, you don't need to double the weight (or reduce the weight rating of your hitch) since Ultra-Fab has already done the testing and rating for this carrier.
Hope this helps explain it... view full answer...
Rhino-Rack offers roof racks that are compatible with the long wheelbase model of your 2011 Audi A8. I'd recommend the Vortex Aero crossbar roof rack which consists of the following parts:
49 inch long Vortex Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA126B-2 for black or # RRVA126S-2 for silver
Roof rack legs, part # RRRLKVA
Vehicle specific clamp kit, part # DK314 view full answer...
The Curt trailer hitch, # C11199, is the only trailer hitch we list as a confirmed fit for your 2005 Audi A8. Some minor fascia trimming is required to install the Curt hitch on your Audi. You will need to trim 1.550 inches into the bumper cover trim. The receiver width measures 3.750 inches, so that will be the width of the cut. See the diagram I have included which shows the dimensions of the cut. The cutout will be located at the center of the bumper cover.
The trailer hitch will bolt... view full answer...
Since the discontinued MaxxAir 4700k model fits a standard 14 x 14 RV vent opening, I recommend the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - 10 Speed # MA00-04500K. The MaxxFan Plus comes with a thermostat and a remote for easy temperature customization. Also, with the powered lift feature, you do not have to go through the pain of having to manually lift the vent by hand. It also closes automatically with the rain/snow sensor to keep you dry.

You definitely don't want to run your road bikes into the garage! Since we can eliminate the roof rack as an option that leaves trunk mount bike racks for your 2015 Audi A8.
This is such a nice vehicle that I recommend going with a bike rack that is light weight and that makes as little contact with the vehicle as possible. The Thule OutWay # TH65JV does fit your A8 but I do not recommend it because it is heavy at over 40 pounds and could deform the rear bumper of the vehicle once the... view full answer...
Rhino Rack offers a few different roof rack options for your 2014 Audi A8 L. I have included a link to the different styles that are available for a 4-door with no existing rails or crossbars.
My personal recommendation is for the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack, # RR45MR. Not only is this rack lightweight and aerodynamic but it looks great as well. view full answer...
The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch, # DL10970, is made of laminated steel gears and a steel base, which is powder coated for some protection, but it is susceptible to the elements and corrosion. Instead, a better option would be the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch, # DL14730.
This winch has a Zinc plated yellow chromate TUFFPLATE finish has three times the corrosion resistance of standard zinc plated trivalent chrome process and 30 percent greater corrosion resistance when compared to... view full answer...
