I reached out to EcoHitch and found that the # 306-X7352 can be used as a recovery point. It would be a good idea to have something like the MaxxTow Tow Strap Loop # MT70029 for this purpose. view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # TH903202 will not drop down far enough to open the doors of your 2022 Mercedes Sprinter RV. There will not be enough clearance to open the Sprinter doors. It's also not rated for RV use.
The option I have is adding the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # Y02483. The Yakima BackSwing will swing your bike rack out 90... view full answer...
The L-brackets of the Reese weight distribution system # RE44FR need to install between 24.5 and 27.5 inches from the hitch ball center. I attached a picture that I took from the instructions that shows this. The range gives you a bit of flexibility to fit around trailer mounted accessories. view full answer...
The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7352 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2017 MB Sprinter 3500 and while I'm not sure it's quite comparable to disturbing an angry hornet's nest, the install process is a bit more complex compared to those on other vehicles.
As you mentioned, the front grille does need to be temporarily removed to allow access to the hitch mounting points. Doing this is simply a matter of propping open the hood, removing the trim retaining... view full answer...
You are correct that the recommended enhancements for ride quality on your 2019 Thor Tiburon RV (MB Sprinter 3500) includes the SumoSprings # SSF-106-47 (front), # SSR-338-54 (rear), and the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1209-131. The installation of all of these parts will give you more control while you're driving and you won't feel like you're fighting your RV down the road.
These will neither increase nor decrease the weight rating of your RV. Just like any other suspension enhancement... view full answer...
If you're experiencing additional sag even with the SumoSprings installed then the Hellwig Pro Series Helper Springs # HE47QR will be able to help with that. However, these are not designed to lift the rear ride height. The only lifting that might happen is if your existing suspension is worn out which would take you back to factory ride height at best. To actually lift the rear of your 2020 Winnebago Navion by 2-3" you would need some kind of lift kit which is not something that we offer. view full answer...
I have a possible solution for you.
First, though, the Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch, part # 59109, cannot be modified to swing to the driver's side.
If you absolutely need an enclosed carrier that swings to the driver's side, then you can use another carrier along with a swing-away adapter.
I recommend the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Carrier, part # H00604. It has a weight capacity of 420 pounds and has 17 cubic feet of storage. For the swing-away adapter, you can... view full answer...
Because of the danger that the user could forget to turn it back on before towing, brake controllers are installed to a constant 12V feed. After 15-20 minutes or so of inactivity, the controllers goes into a sleep mode during which time the controller only draws enough power to keep one LED dot lit, which is a miniscule amount. You'd need to leave the vehicle unattended for 2-3 months or more before you'd need to worry about discharging your battery.
Because of that, I wouldn't recommend... view full answer...
It's possible that by installing a front mount trailer hitch on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7352, that you could trigger or interfere with sensors such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision monitoring, parking assist etc. That said, you really wouldn't know what systems are affected and how they are affected until you place items on the front of the vehicle as it could be different for each depending on what... view full answer...

You do not need an additional breaker to install the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED63RR in your 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 3500. All you need is the install harness part # 3063-P that you mentioned which plugs in under the dash and you'd be set. view full answer...
There is no torque spec for the Malone Anti-Rattle HitchLock System part # MPG908. In regards to tightening, you simply need to collapse the split-lock washer and that will be good. view full answer...
Yes, the Stainless Steel License Plate Jeep Chrome # 302535 can be used on the front of your 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport. This is actually the intended purpose since some states do not require a front license plate, but all states require a rear license plate. view full answer...
When installing scissor jacks like the etrailer Scissor Jacks with Handle # e99012 you're basically looking for strong points on the frame like what you mentioned. There aren't any "set" places to install the jacks so it's more or less about using your best judgement.
With that being said, if you aren't utilizing the trailer hitch on your Winnebago you might consider using the MORryde Hitch Mounted Stabilizer # MR22AR instead. This stores inside your motorhome and then installs by connecting... view full answer...
As long as the Roadmaster rear sway bar part # RM-1209-131 was installed properly it would not void the chassis warranty of your 2018 Mercedes Benz Sprinter Chassis because of the Magnuson Moss act. The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act in short states that manufactures cannot void the entire warranty of a vehicle simply because they installed an aftermarket component. Basically they'd have to somehow prove that the sway bar caused whatever damage was in question. view full answer...
Thule actually has a version of their Hideaway Awning that was designed for vehicles without roof racks with the part # TH490018 which is a direct mount setup. This attaches to the sidewall of the vehicle/RV instead of to a roof rack. view full answer...
We have everything you need to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 (great choice) on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, however there is not currently a plug-in adapter available for this vehicle.
If there is already a factory installed 7-way connector on your Sprinter, you will just need to install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751475 along with the Universal Installation Wiring # 5506. This wiring kit includes the duplex wire and circuit... view full answer...
It sounds like you're asking about an available adapter plug to install the RedArc Tow-Pro Classic # 331-EBRHV2, and as long as it came with the factory towing package you can use the # 3063-P to install this brake controller. If your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 did not come with the factory towing package, the Tow-Pro Classic will need to be hardwired in.
Additionally, the RJ45 cable only is available in the 3ft length that comes with the unit. This is a standard RJ45 network cable... view full answer...
The brake controller install harness part # 3063-P is the correct install harness for a brake controller in your 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500. You would not need to do any other splicing or wiring beyond plugging the other end of the connector into a brake controller.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake... view full answer...
You need to make sure that all 6 bolts for the ComeUp Seal Slim Off-Road Winch # CU295051 are aligned and able to be installed for this application. From what I was able to find it looks like that T-Handle rotates in the direction that the cable/rope pays out so if you are rotating it towards the back side of the winch then that may be why you are running into issues. view full answer...
