- 2-Inch Hitch for 2004 Dodge Sprinter with 140-Inch Wheelbase for Use with Hitch Bike Rack
- For use with a 2-inch hitch bike carrier I recommend the Curt Class III hitch # 13250 as it is a confirmed fit on your 2004 Dodge Sprinter with step bumper and 140-inch wheelbase. Class IV hitch # 14250 fits your van too but for use with a bike rack you will not need this hitch's 1000-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity, so the Curt # 13250, rated for 600-lbs TW, will be a great choice that actually costs you less.
The linked photo shows you the appearance of the hitch and step bumper after...

- The Rampage Clinometer with Compass - Analog # RA791006 will help you detect if you are on level ground or not with your RV, so it will absolutely be a help. It will only detect how level the ground is under your tires and suspension, so there may still be additional leveling needed at your landing gear.
One of the best options for that is the Hopkins Electronic LED Smart Level for RVs and Trailers # HM08201 which can give you both the parallel and perpendicular leveling of your RV from...

- The rear doors on the 2004 Dodge Sprinter open to the sides of the vehicle. The Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier and Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y44ZR will swing out to the side of the vehicle on the passenger's side. It would allow you to open the doors most of the way if not all the way. I have included some links to the right to videos on the swing away cargo system.

- We do have an option for a hitch cargo carrier that will work for your Class C motorhome, is rated for 500 lbs, and is able to carry your gear. While there isn't one that will specifically state "Acceptable for Class C" what you will need is a cargo carrier with a fixed shank and not a foldable carrier:
- 24 x 60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs # 63153
The Reese # 63153 is the heaviest-duty carrier with inside dimensions of 60" long x 24" wide x 5-1/2" deep so it...

- The SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA11MTKT is designed to work with your OEM leaf springs on your 2008 Sprinter.
As long as the installation of the # SSA11MTKT does not interfere with the sway bar or the Timbrens, you can use this system.

- I attached a picture of what the Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Sprinter Rear Door # TH302043 will look when installed and with bikes loaded. It would clear the ladder on your vehicle but would make it more or less inaccessible.
view full answer... - Available Hitch Receivers for Use on 2006 Dodge Sprinter with TommyGate Lift
- Your Sprinter's TommyGate lift does present a bit of an obstacle for hitch installation. I would not attempt such an installation unless you can confirm with the TommyGate folks that your unit has the capacity to support a hitch-mounted load. I tend to doubt this.
But we do have frame-mount hitches made specifically for RVs that can be either welded or bolted on. These all have 2-inch receivers and offer gross trailer weight ratings of up to 500-lbs. All are shown on the linked page. We...

- I apologize for any confusion. With these 2005 Sprinters there are many different versions, and sometime our vehicle listing can get a little crowded/confusing.
The draw tite hitch # 75210 will be a good fit for your 2005 Sprinter 158" wheelbase SRW with the factory step bumper. We have confirmed this with the folks at Draw-tite, as well as with several of our customers, who have successfully installed the hitch on vehicles with the step bumper.

- The Curt Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 14250, will fit your 2006 Dodge Sprinter w/ OEM step bumper after some minor modification to the installation hardware.
The Curt hitch instructions state that for the factory step bumper models, the corner of the 1/4 inch spacer plates, that are included with the hitch, will have to be broken off to allow the reinstallation of the step bumper.
There will be no modification to the actual bumper of the Dodge Sprinter.

- The Four Winds Chateau Citation is built on a Mercedes Benz Sprinter Chassis. I checked with SumoSprings and they don't offer any solutions for this chassis but I do have options from Timbren which are very similar to the SumoSprings. They have the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TMBFSP35 for the front and part # TMBRSP25A for the rear so that is what I recommend using. The Timbrens actually provide more support than the SumoSprings.

- I do have an option for you but the Medium QuickFit Tent for Thule HideAway Awning part # TH309921 is only compatible with the Thule HideAway awning part TH620002 which is a roof mount awning.
Since you have a Thule HideAway Awning Direct Mount like part # TH490011 that measures 8-1/2 feet long. I have confirmed with Thule you will need the Medium QuickFit Tent for Thule HideAway part # TH309920. They currently do not offer a 10 foot tent for the wall mount options.

- Yes, the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # TH01594245 will fit the LT215/85-16 tires on your 2007 Dodge Sprinter 3500. They will work on the front two and outer rear two tires so long as they are all a LT215/85-16. These chains are class S compliant so clearance should not be any issue but the owner's manual for your chassis will say for sure. There will also be no issues with weight.
I have attached a review video for you which explains the installation process. It will be...

- We've checked with Kwikee in the past for the linkage arm 151364 and the correct replacement is the part # LC379649. For the entire gear box and linkage the correct part number is the # LC379160 that you mentioned.
view full answer... - Hitch and Wiring Fits for 2004 Dodge Sprinter
- Both of our primary hitch suppliers, Curt and Draw-Tite, show no vehicle listing for a M-B branded Sprinter for model year 2004. Only a Dodge Sprinter is listed, both 2500-series and 3500-series.
You can confirm the correct hitch based on the van's wheelbase and drivetrain. If you click on the "Select Vehicle Style" drop-down menu tool at the top of the linked page you can select your Sprinter's configuration; you will then see the hitches just for that setup.
For example, for a 118-inch...

- We can get you set up with a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform rack on your 2007 Dodge Sprinter, and there isn't an option to mount the platform directly to your roof, so you'll need to mount the Pioneer to a Rhino-Rack roof rack.
So the exact parts you will need to add the Pioneer to your 2007 Sprinter are the following:
- Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Roof Tray - 60" Long x 49" Wide # RR35TB
- Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Silver # RB1800 or Black # RB1800B-2
- Rhino-Rack RLTF...
view full answer... - Will Curt Bumper Mount Trailer Hitch # E-100 Fit a 4-1/4 Inch Bumper on a Starcraft Starsteam 24QB
- The Curt hitch # E-100 needs a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper to install safely. If by removing the decorative trim, you are left with a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper, then this hitch will work for you. Be sure to check the owners manual to determine if the bumper can be used for this application.
the safest option is to go with a frame mount hitch. I have included a link to the options for you. The most popular is Curt hitch # 13703 because it fits a wide...
view full answer... - What Do I w/ The Brake Controller Wire When Using the Curt Echo?
- To use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller item # C51180 you won't need a brake control wire. If you have already purchased a wiring harness you can cap that wire off and make sure its sealed because you won't need to run it to the cab of your Sprinter.
If you still need a wiring harness I recommend the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 12 Gauge Wires item # ETBC7L. This kit that pulls power from the 7-way trailer connector instead of wiring...
view full answer... - Are SumoSprings Designed to be Taller than Suspension Bumps Stops
- The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-401-54 are intentionally designed to be taller than the bump stops on the suspension of your vehicle. This is so they engage sooner and provide support. Bump stops aren't designed for adding support so much as they are for preventing bottoming out.
These will help noticeably with impacts felt from pot holes or sudden impacts.
view full answer... - Can Size 225/75-16 Sized Tire Chains be Used for Size 235/85-16 Tires?
- I found an answer that will work. Unfortunately, the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern # TH01571245 cannot be modified without undermining the integrity/safety of the tire chains to fit a 235/85-16 tire. However, we do sell some tire chains with that size. I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams # TC2821CAM. The Titan chains involve a manual installation with cam tightening for a tight, secure fit. They are also the great economic option. If you need more than...
view full answer... - Will Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier Fit a 2005 Dodge Sprinter and a Zuma Scooter
- The Ultra-Fab motorcycle carrier, # UF48-979033, well add around 30 inches to the back of your Sprinter van. This carrier has a straight tongue so once installed and loaded it will most likely sag a little in the back. This can cause some bottoming out on inclines but it really depends on the incline and how high the receiver is on the vehicle to begin with. Also, the more distance from the rear axle to the back end, the more likely it is to bottom out.
The Sprinter will need to have a...
