  • Will 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE53 Exhaust Damage Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier
  • Thanks for reaching out, Sean! I've looked at some photos of the exhaust on your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE53 and if the exhaust shoots directly behind your vehicle then I think you'll potentially see some issues since the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH99MR will sit just below the bumper and the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR doesn't have much of a rise. Some nicer vehicles have fake exhaust tips built into the bumper though, and another design I was seeing...

  • Finding The Cold Side Of The Brake Light Switch In A 2016 MBS Motorhome
  • Yes, the cold side of the brake light switch would be where you would need to splice into for the braking signal. While we don't have wiring schematics for your motorhome I do still have two options for getting the signal. Option 1: You can use a hook & probe tester # PTW2993 and check each wire coming from the brake pedal until you find the one that only has power while the brake pedal is depressed. Option 2: You can install the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000....

  • Availability Of 4-Pin Wiring Harness For A 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI
  • Hello Robert. Unfortunately, we do not have a plug and play wiring harness for a 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI. We can offer you a universal harness like the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. In order to use this you would have to find wires that have the constant signals. Have you tried contacting a Mercedes-Benz dealership? They may be able to provide more information on wiring solutions. I do wish I had more useful info for you, these vehicles are not as common...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors For An Airstream Interstate Class B Motorhome
  • Hey David, Most of the clip-on style towing mirrors use straps, which could end up blocking the camera built into your mirror. The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 has a small tapered clip that will slip into the space between the mirror and its housing and block that tightens down to hold the towing mirror to the factory mirror. We haven't had this newer style of mirror in to test strap-style mirrors so this mounting style is likely going to be the only option. The spacing...

  • Parts Needed To Install A Trailer Brake Controller On a 2011 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500
  • First you are going to want to inspect the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118650 on your 2011 Mercedes Sprinter for any loose connectors or signs of damage. I do always recommend using Dielectric Grease # 11755 on the connectors as this will help protect them from developing corrosion inside the connector which could cause intermittent issues like you have. Our 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 will connect to your 4-way and allow you to install the Tekonsha P3 # 90195 trailer brake controller.

  • Cargo Net Divider For Interior of 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  • From what I was able to find, the interior dimensions of your 2012 Sprinter are 72" x 70". You could use a cargo net like the Gladiator # GC94FR which is 6' 9" x 8'. There will be a little extra but nothing overly excessive. It comes with 4 ratchet straps but you could add some like the # EM04418 for added security. The ratchet straps will make it easily removable when not in use. Then you would need to mount your D-rings like the # 3486554 or # 337B46 if you don't already have them....

  • Should Tekonsha P3 be Recalibrated with Trailer Fully Loaded
  • Hey Kris, thanks for reaching out! You'll already have a good idea of how to adjust the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195, but it would be good to do a bit of a test run once your trailer is loaded just to make sure the brakes are operating safely and effectively.

  • RV Stereo Replacement for Jensen JRV4100
  • I looked up your Jensen jrv4100 stereo and the most similar option we carry is the Jensen part # JWM45 which is a double din sized stereo that has Bluetooth, AM/FM, Aux, and is rated for 48 watts and 2 zones. It's not a touch screen stereo like what you have now but it would still work really well.

  • What Wiring Kit Do I Need To Tow A U-Haul Trailer With A 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC
  • Hey Megan, I can definitely help set you up with a wiring kit for your 2017 Mercedes GLC 300. Your GLC is the SUV correct? If so, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118747. This will give you a 4-flat plug, which is the same plug used on the U-Haul cargo trailers. This is a standard T-harness so installation will be pretty straightforward. You will plug in behind the taillights on each side, and you will run a wire to the battery to power the converter. I am afraid...

The only hitch options for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE AMG Line comes from Stealth Hitches, and they have 2 options: - With Receiver # SH49MR - With Towing Kit # SH57GR Since you're needing this for towing a trailer you'll need to pick up the Towing Kit # SH57GR because it comes with wiring and a ball mount.

  • Will A StowAway Max Cargo Carrier Fit On A Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier With 2" Receiver Tube
  • Hi Daniel, The mounting point for the tire on the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening # RM-195225 sits about an inch back from the first hitch pin hole so you'll want to measure the distance from the hitch pin hole to the box of your StowAway Max cargo carrier. You can add the extra inch for the total space between the tire mounting point and cargo box and then subtract the width of the tire to determine if there's enough clearance. If you look at the tire...

  • Does the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Work w/ a StowAway Max?
  • Yes, it will! The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening item # RM-195225 does work with accessories you will just need to make sure you keep the weight below 400 lbs including the carrier. We do not offer the StowAway Max so you will want to confirm that it is compatible with a hitch mounted spare tire carrier.

  • Can You Mix Batteries That Have Different Amp Hour Ratings
  • Yes, your RV batteries should all have the same voltage and amperage rating. The reason you cant mix match different batteries like Go Power Lithium RV Battery 34282740 and Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738 that have different amp ratings is due to differences in battery management systems and battery cell counts, and there may be a charging and voltage discrepancy between batteries. This will cause the highest voltage battery to charge the lowest voltage battery attempting to create...

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver Option For a 2023 Mercedes E 450 All-Terrain Wagon?
  • I'm having the same issue Henk, and I do not even see that Mercedes offers a factory receiver option for your 2023 E 450 All-Terrain Wagon. The only help I can offer is we do have the 2" # E17 or 1-1/4" # E-911 which you can take to a local fabrication shop who can weld you up a receiver. If you need to run any Auxiliary Lights # C53201 on your bike rack the Curt 4-Way # C59236 is a universal option which will allow you to splice into the factory tail light wiring.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350
  • You can definitely go the aftermarket route which will require some splicing but isn't overly complicated. We also have installation videos you can use as a reference to make things easier. For a hitch you can use the Curt # 13342 as long as you don't have the BlueTEC. This features a bolt-on installation and comes with a lifetime warranty. For wiring, you're on the right track with the # ETBC7. However, you need to start by installing a 4-way with # 119147KIT. Once you have a 4-way you...

  • How to Tell if Multi Device Charging Station Will Fit a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
  • Thanks for reaching out! The Multi Device RV Charging Station # 37215095 has overall dimensions of 3-3/4" tall x 5" wide x 2" deep and requires a cutout that is 2-1/2" tall x 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" deep so as long as you have this amount of room in your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 this will fit. Unfortunately, I don't have a dimensional layout of your Sprinter so you'll need to take these specs and locate a spot that works best for you.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness For a 2023 Mercedes Sprinter 1500
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13388 has been confirmed by Curt to fit your 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500. This has the more common 2" opening allowing for a larger selection of Ball Mounts # C45534 and hitch mounted accessories. As I do not see anyone with a wiring harness custom fit for your Sprinter we have the Tekonsha # 119250KIT universal 4-way which will detect power going through the tail light wiring. This way you will not have to splice into the factory wiring.

  • Does the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Come With a Wiring Harness for 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C11823 does not come with wiring for your 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class so you will need to buy it separately. I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. This is a universal wiring kit that uses zero-contact interface sensors so no cutting or splicing is required. It has instructions, but they are not vehicle specific. We do not have an installation video for a 2005 Mercedes...
