Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz
- Recommended Trailer Wiring for 2016 Mercedes Benz 3500 Chassis Motorhome
- Something doesn't add up with the description you gave. I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the 7-way functions at your 7-way trailer connector. If they didn't combine the stop lamp and turn signal functions at the 7-way then you would be missing either the blinkers or the stop lamp because there simply aren't enough pins for them to be separate and all accessible for the trailer use.
I've attached a diagram of the 7-way to assist with the function locations....

- If you are looking to carry cargo or bike racks on a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-350 the best option is going to be to install a roof rack because the only hitches available are for a '14 E-350 are for a sedan or wagon. The good news is that you can install a roof rack whether or not you have the Panorama Roof as it will attach to fixed mounting points on your Mercedes.
I highly recommend going with a roof rack option from Yakima because it will give your 2014 Mercedes E-350 coupe a roof rack...

- The trailer hitch options we have for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB come from Stealth Hitches. This unique hitch design has the crosstube completely hidden behind the fascia on your vehicle and then you have a receiver and/or ball mount that you'll use for accessories or towing.
If you're planning on using the rack for a bike rack you need part # SH69MR but if you plan on doing some towing then you need the whole kit part # SH37GR. The only difference between these kits is the towing kit...

- I did some research on your 2018 Mercedes Bens 3500 RV, and I discovered that the height of from the ground to the top is 108 inches. With those dimensions, I recommend the Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder - 84-1/2" Long # SP502L. With the Surco ladder, you will need to drill into your RV in order to install with the included mounting hardware. If you wish to have a drill-free option, I recommend the Telesteps Telescopic Ladder - 10-1/2' Extended Height - 14' Reachable Height # TE34FR....
view full answer... - Is There A Swing Away Adapter That Allows A Bike Rack To Clear The Rear Slide On Motorhome?
- I have a swing away bike rack that will work for you, but there are not any individual swing away adapters compatible with motorhomes. Your best option is the Thule Apex Swing XT Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swinging # TH9027XT. This holds up to 4 bikes and is approved for motorhome use. The carrier swings away from the receiver to the passenger side, allowing for access to the trunk on most vehicles.
I will mention that we have not tested this on a motorhome with a rear slide,...
view full answer... - Shackle Straps Break on a 20ft Tandem Axle Trailer and the Rear Axle Slides the Tires
- One of the most common causes for shackle straps to break is over-tightening of the shackle bolts. If the shackle bolts are too tight, the shackle straps are not able to move with the suspension. This causes binding and it can bend or even brake the shackle straps, bolts and hangers.
The sliding that you are experiencing on the rear axle is common for tandem and triple axle trailers and it is usually called scrubbing. The rear axle scrubs because trailer axles are not steering axles,...

- As long as your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 with the Panoramic Sunroof is the SUV version and has the flush side rails running front to back as seen in the video you saw, you will be able to use the same Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System.
The Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System uses the 47" Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220, Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601, and Fit Kit # TH186020. Adding the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 will provide additional...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Model with Standard Bumper
- The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75549 is a fit for a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Model with Standard Bumper but you do need to be sure you don't have the 30-3/8" frame, measured outside to outside of frame.
I have attached a review below which confirms fit from one of our customers on the passenger model. I don't show the spare tire needs to be removed.
view full answer... - How Does Adapter Bar Work for Step-Thru Frame Bike and Platform Bike Rack
- The adapter bars like the Swagman Deluxe # 64005 and Thule # TH982XT were initially created for hanging-style bike racks, but we have found that they work really well for the hooks on a bike rack, like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY84FR, to connect to.
Instead of the adapter bar putting pressure on the underside of the seat and handlebars it will put pressure on the lowered ends of the bike like you can see in the attached photo.
view full answer... - Tire Chain Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 3500
- We have the Titan tire chains part # TC4219CAM which are a fit for the tire size you have on your Sprinter of 215/85-16 and would work great. These are a twist link style of chain which means it would be a little smoother and these are a dually design so they will cover both tires on either side of the vehicle.
If breaking up ice was the priority over ride you would instead want the V-bar part # TC4819CAM, or if deep snow the square link # TC4219SCAM.
view full answer... - Will a Roof Rack Interfere with the Panoramic Roof on a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan
- I spoke to my contact at Thule about the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7601B-TH7602B and part # THKIT3083 which is a fit for your 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan with the panoramic roof and fixed mounting points. They do not recommend opening your panoramic roof with the roof rack installed. This will be the case for almost all vehicles that have a sun/moon or panoramic roof due to either a chance of interference or just the shear noise that the combo will produce. We don't have...

- Assuming your Winnebago on the 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 chassis has the factory tow package, there is a way for you to transfer your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. The plug-in adapter that fits is the following part number:
- Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In # 3063-P

view full answer... - Will the Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller Work On a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE
- I do have an option for you though the Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller part # C27JR will require splicing if you want to install it on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE. Instead, I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which will be plug-in-play. It doesn't matter if you have tow package or not, you just need a seven way trailer connector for this controller to work.
view full answer... - Can You Verify The Correct Wire Colors To Connect On Tail Light Of a 2016 Mercedes Benz GLE 350?
- We do not have access to a wiring harness diagram for your 2016 Mercedes Benz GLE 350. You may be able to contact the service department at a local dealer for help identifying the correct wires but I still recommend testing the wiring with the tester included in the Wiring Kit # 119177KIT. It typically takes less time to access the tail light connector on the rear of your GLE and use the tester to find locate the wires than most dealers will be able to lookup the information.

- While a solar powered/battery operated option is not available we do still have an alternative for you that'll work great.
Check out the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote - Powered Lift # FV807350.
This roof vent will install in place of your old roof vent and has a built-in 12V fan that uses a thermostat to help maintain an even temperature inside your Mercedes.
This fan does use a simple two-wire design so if you have no existing wiring you'd just need to run some 12...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness Options for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class
- The trailer wiring harness I recommend for a 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT because it's the only option which does not splice into the vehicle. Instead, it uses clamp on sensors that don't actually pierce the wire so it won't void any warranties and it can be removed easily reverting the vehicle back to stock. The other options all require splicing which is fine if you want to save some money but there is a level of modifying...

- Yes it will; your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 with a factory roof rack is 100 percent compatible with the Kuat ski rack, which is the following part number:
- Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier # GRR6B
The Kuat # GRR6B will fit directly on your Mercedes roof rack and allow you to carry up to 6 skis or 4 snowboards. This is a really nice choice for a ski rack because it slides out from the side of your vehicle to make loading up your skis or boards super simple.
It's also easy to install...
