  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2005 Dodge Sprinter Van
  • You'll have to hardwire a brake controller to your 2005 Dodge Sprinter van. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59496. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2...

  • We have a couple of solutions for you you could simply use an adapter like you mentioned the Buyers Products 6-Way Round to 7-Way Blade RV Adapter with 8" Prewired Cable part # 337TC1067P would do the job but is an adapter so you're adding points of failure there. I instead recommend adding a 7-way female socket on the back of your coach again an idea you had.

  • Wider Tire Replacement for a 145/R12 Trailer Tire
  • The closest tire size we have to what you are looking for is a 175/80-13 which measures 24.1" diameter x 7" wide. This new size will be 2.8" larger in diameter and 1.3" larger in width than the 145/R12 tires that you have now. Please note that only half of this measurement will be applied to the top and sides. Unfortunately, we do not carry any 155/60-13 or 165/60-13 trailer tires nor is this a common trailer tire size. I recommend the Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire part # TTWTRTM1758013C....

  • Would Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Sprinter Rear Door Clear Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  • I checked with Thule and they assured me that the wheel tray of the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Sprinter Rear Door # TH302043 would clear your rear spare as the wheel tray is actually located above the bottom of the window edge so it wouldn't come close to interfering with your rear mounted spare.

  • Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Balls, and Wiring for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter
  • To go with Curt trailer hitch # 14250 I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2216. It includes a ball mount, a 2 inch ball, a 2-5/16 inch ball (which is probably what you meant since there are no 2-5/8 inch balls), a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. You will also need to add a trailer wiring harness to your Sprinter if it does not already have one. You can use # C59236. I have included links to the installation instructions for the hitch and wiring for you.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for Motorhome on 2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Chassis
  • There are not any Firestone Brackets that are a fit for your Sprinter 3500. For your suspension enhancement, I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS3620-E. This is a mechanically adjustable system that will allow you to adjust the ride of your Motorhome and give you the additional support you need. This will reduce sway and body roll. I've linked the page to all your other options if you prefer a jounce style spring.

  • There is a top speed rating when driving with tire chains. It is 30 miles per hour maximum unless the vehicle owners manual states that it should be lower, then you must go by the lower speed.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2007 Mercedes Sprinter RV Chassis
  • For your 2007 Dodge Sprinter RV chassis the brake and turn signals are sent along separate wires. A converter is required unless the vehicle is equipped with a tow package plug. The tow package plug has already been converted. If you need a 4-way and you HAVE the tow package you only need the part # 118381, if you do not then you'd need the part # 118650 which does use a converter box.
