The best option in order to route the power wire from the roof of your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 to the battery would be to drill a hole though the roof, run the wire under the headliner, to the a-pillar, down the a-pillar though the firewall, and to the vehicle battery. I wish I had exact steps on this to show you for your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 but when it comes to routing power wires it is always going to be at the discretion of the installer. view full answer...
Assuming your Sprinter has the factory tow package with the 7-way at the rear bumper, in addition to the
# RED24FR Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller, you'll also need the # 3063-P wiring harness and the # 331-TPH-017. The connector to install the controller is located under the driver's seat as shown in the provided photo.
If the Sprinter doesn't have the factory 7-way, you can install one using part # TK22115, you'll also need the # 331-TPH-017 adapter mentioned above. view full answer...
Without something connected to the wiring of the Brake Buddy Stealth that would tell it that there is a connection made to a trailer or towed vehicle it will not show messages like you mentioned on the display. view full answer...

The plug that the harness will use is located under the driver seat. It is a green four pin plug which can be seen in the attached photo. view full answer...
I recommend the Draw-Tite mounting bracket for 7-Way connectors item # 18138 for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This bracket will install to the left of the receiver opening on your Draw-Tite hitch item # 75549 on the steel tab that is on the frame of the hitch receiver. This will allow you to attach your Tekonsha 7-Way connector item # TK22115 directly to your hitch receiver for easy access. I have attached a link that will demonstrate the ease and access this mounting bracket will... view full answer...
Yes. Because the Curt Echo # C51180 is made to be outside the vehicle, it's engineered for maximum weather resistance, but I would not recommend submerging the Curt Echo for any extended period of time. The unit is filled with an epoxy resin that seals off the internal components from moisture and the elements, ensuring long-lasting operation despite rain, snow, dirt, mud, and more. I do not recommend that you use this on a boat trailer that may submerge the connector, but it will stand... view full answer...
EcoHitch does not allow their instruction manuals to be linked, so I cut out and added the most relevant portions of the installation of the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7352.
This hitch, which is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, requires you to first remove the front grill and bumper, for which there is instructions in the manual which is included with the hitch. The rest of the installation is straightforward, requiring you to bolt... view full answer...
Yes! All of this is actually in the linked instructions for the Thule HideAway Roll Out Awning # TH490011 on this page. Since this is a universal fit the instructions are specifically tailored to a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 but they are detailed enough for the installation. view full answer...
For starters, if you have the factory brake controller wiring provisions then the correct wiring harness you will want to use with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 on your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 is the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # 3063-P. If this is what you have then there should only be power on the black wire entering the brake controller. If there is not then you have a short, there is a misplaced fuse, or... view full answer...
If you have the Let's Go Aero TwinTube U-Build-It Slide-Out Hitch Rack # HMK901 loaded up with 300 pounds then it will be fairly difficult to slide it in and out. The tubes aren't on rollers they are just steel tubes that slide over other steel tubes. You would likely have to lift up while pushing/pulling. Some lubrication would help. view full answer...
If your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector then there should be a green connector located under the driver's seat. This green connector would then be plugged into a Mercedes-Benz speciality harness and attached to a brake controller. However, if you do not have this connection or cannot find it then you will want to proceed with the hardwire option.
In order to hardwire a brake controller such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller... view full answer...
According to my research, if your 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 came with a factory 7-way trailer connector then you will have the brake controller connector pre-wired. This pre-wired connector should be under the driver side seat which you can see in the attached photo. The connector is green with four pins inside.
Once you locate this connector you can then install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 using the Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake... view full answer...
Our friends from Torklift told me that (as of 2020) they recently changed the design to eliminate the need for drilling for ANY Sprinter 2500 models. If you have the older version of this hitch, however, the following advice might still help you out.
I checked the install guide of the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7352 for you and sent it in a separate email. There are no specific models named as lacking the needed hole, but I attached some pictures of the guide... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 installation process does not require you to lower or modify your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 exhaust in any way. The installation itself looks pretty straightforward but it is worth noting that the hardware you'll be removing holds up the bumper so you need to make sure you have it secured before all of the hardware has been completely removed. view full answer...
You will need cut out a 5" x 3" rectangle on the lower portion of the bumper cover for the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7352 to fit your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500.

I have attached the installation instructions for the Roadmaster # RM-1209-128 to this answer, but this rear anti-sway bar will mount in place of your factory sway bar. If your 2016 MB Sprinter 2500 does not have a factory sway bar you will also need to add the Mount Kit # RM-590064-00. These mounts will connect to the frame and provide the mounting points for the Roadmaster sway bar. view full answer...
There is no plug-and-play brake controller harness for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 so brake controller installation will be a hard-wire process. Under the driver's seat there should be a green plug.
The wires to this plug can be tested with a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to confirm their function since vehicle wire colors are not always consistent.
A brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 has 4 wires that require connection to the Sprinter.
The black wire is 12V input... view full answer...
The Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # DMC38FR is designed to protect the vent and lid from wind damage so it will help reduce the rattling on your lid significantly.
Aside from protecting your vent from the natural elements, the aerodynamic design keeps the wind up and over the vent so you can leave your vent open even while driving your Roadtrek on the highway.
