Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz C-Class


  • Dual Motor Leveling Jack Recommendation for Class C Motorhome
  • The Ultra Fab kit part # UF39-941705 would be a great option. This attaches to the bottom of the frame of your camper and allows you to independently control to jack legs on either side of the trailer to level and stabilize it. I attached a review video for this jack for you to check out as well.

  • How to Get Curt Cargo Carrier to Fold Up when there Isnt Enough Clearance Behind RV
  • About the only thing that you can do is to use a hitch extender such as # HE06. This will give you about 7 inches more clearance. But only use this extender when storing the carrier folded up. Do not use it with the carrier folded down and loaded. The reason for this is that the use of an extension reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. It is not a problem with an empty carrier, especially when folded up, but would be a problem if the carrier was loaded.

  • Roof Rack and Bike Carrier for a 2015 Mercedes C-Class Sedan with Panoramic Roof
  • We do have some roof rack options that will fit your 2015 Mercedes C-Class sedan with the panoramic roof. For a roof rack that compliments the style of your Mercedes I recommend Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack # TH7603-TH7603 for silver bar or # TH7603B-TH7603B for black bars. You will also need fit kit # THKIT3083. Then for a bike carrier you could use the UpRide, # TH599000, which holds the bike at the wheels.

  • Recommended Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack
  • The frame adapter bar we recommend most often is the Swagman # 64005. It's the easiest to use and one of the more reasonably priced adapter bars we offer. The adapter bar would work just fine with your Thule Double Track.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Mercedes C300
  • Yes, as long as you have a hitch installed on your 2011 Mercedes Benz C300 like the Curt Hitch part # C11030 the 2 Bike Rack # S64670 would work well for you. Curt recommends that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendations for a 2004 Mercedes C240
  • To safely carry your 2 kayaks on your 2004 Mercedes C240 you will first need a roof rack since the vehicle does not have one. The most cost effective option that fits your vehicle is # RR36ZR for 2-door models or # RR29ZR for 4-door models. With a roof rack installed you could then use the J-style carrier # S512 which by itself holds one kayak. But it can hold 2 kayaks by adding the expansion arm # RRS512X. The carrier has a capacity of 99 pounds.

  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and in order to carry your cargo box on your 2013 Mercedes Benz C350 with the Panoramic Roof and experience the least amount of noise, we recommend going with the WingBar Roof Rack, # TH460R, # THKIT3083, and either # TH711200 or # TH711220. This system attaches to OEM fixed mounting points on your vehicle's roof and has a maximum crossbar spread of 30 inches.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Mercedes C-Class Sedan
  • I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier # TH65JV has been confirmed to fit your 2012 Mercedes C-Class Sedan, however this rack is better suited for vehicles with metal bumpers and in the past has left dents on vehicles because of its weight. I would strongly recommend you go with a Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV as this rack does not have this reputation at all and is one of the best trunk mounted bike racks on the market because of how easy it is...

  • Bike Rack And Receiver Hitch Options For 2017 Mercedes Benz C 300

There is currently not a hitch receiver available for your vehicle that is rated for 300lbs tongue weight, or one that is 2". There is an excellent bike rack available that will fit this hitch.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2003 Mercedes C240 Wagon

You'll want to check with Mercedes/Benz or your owner's manual to determine the actual towing capacity of your Wagon, and not exceed whichever capacity is lowest. In order to tow with the hitch, you'll need the following items, which aren't sold in kit form but are available...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2006 Mercedes C230
  • The only trailer wiring harness I recommend for your 2006 Mercedes C230 is the ZCI harness # 119250KIT with installation kit # 118151. This harness does not require splicing into the vehicle wiring so your vehicle's sensitive wiring and electrical system will be protected. There isn't a plug and play type of harness for this vehicle so the ZCI harness is your best option.

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack that Wont Scratch or Dent 2015 Mercedes-Benz 300C
  • Let me begin by saying that anytime you have a piece of equipment strapped to the painted finish of a vehicle, the potential for scratches or dents exists, no getting around it. This being said, the risks can be minimized by putting as little weight as possible on the racks and by observing the racks weight capacity, by installing the rack exactly as described in the instructions, and by keeping the surfaces where the rack and vehicle touch absolutely clean. A good coat of quality car...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Mercedes C300
  • The trunk mount bike rack option that best meets the criteria you mentioned would be the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. The rack attaches to the vehicle using only 2 rubber coates straps, instead of the 6 straps and buckle arrangement used by other racks. This makes the Raceway very easy to use and allows the rack to be installed or removed in seconds. This carrier comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft. Any piece of equipment that's in direct contact with the painted...

Other option is the Blue Ox KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector # BX8870 that is a shield attached to your tow bar that keeps flying debris down to prevent chips in paint and windshield.

  • Bike Rack Recommendations for a Mercedes C350 Coupe/BMW 3 Series Coupe
  • I checked on the 2011 Mercedes C350 and there are no hitches available for the coupe models. The # C11030 that you referenced will work on the sedans but not the coupes. Since I do not know what year BMW 3 series you have I can not say for certain if a hitch is available. Email me back and I will let you know if there is one available. I checked and the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier # TH45JV will work on your C350 and every generation of BMW 3 Series coupes so I believe it would be a good...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2010 Mercedes Benz C320
  • The least expensive trunk mounted bike rack that will fit your 2010 Mercedes C320 is the Hollywood Racks Express, # HRE3. This rack is a very basic rack. It does not include anti-sway cradles and is not the best option for anything other than short trips. The best trunk mount rack we offer is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. Instead of the 4-6 difficult to use straps and buckles that need to be adjusted each and every time the rack is installed or removed, the Raceway features 2 rubber...
