  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 with Step Bumper
  • We do have a trailer hitch fit for your 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 that has the factory step bumper. The Curt hitch part # 13358 would be what you need. This fits either length wheelbase as well. In the picture I attached you can see the hitch fitting below the step bumper. I also attached an install video for you to check out too.

  • VanRug Floor Mats for 2017 Mercedes Sprinter with Similar Weathertech Mats
  • The VanRug gray of the # VRMS06M is a pretty unique blend of gray and black carpet. We don't have anything really very close to this but I would recommend a set of Weathertech floor mats in black part # WT4410631 which will look great and fit well. Since this is a totally different look than the VanRug it won't look like a poor match but just a different style of floor for a different section of the van.

  • Recommended Locking Hitch Pin and Trailer Wiring Mounting Box for 2016 Sprinter RV
  • For your 2016 Sprinter RV with factory trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the Hitch Receiver Lock for 2", 2-1/2", and 3" Hitches # FA86-00-3160. If not, then I recommend removing the wiring box and reattaching it using the 6 and 7-Way Trailer Connector Mounting Box for Round or Square Tube Hitches # 18159.

  • Sway Bar Recommendation for 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 without Sway Bar
  • For your 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 the Roadmaster sway bar kit part # RM-1209-128 is a confirmed fit and will work great. Since you do not have a factory sway bar you will need to also use the # RM-590064-00 when you install it. If you check out the installed picture I attached for this sway bar you'll see that it mounts at an angle so getting the cut out dimension as it would be parallel to the ground may not be helpful. The picture though would most likely let you know if you...

  • Improving Handling and Parked Stabilization of 2017 Winnebago View 24J
  • The best solution for ride quality and stability for your 2017 Winnebago View 24J will be with a SumoSpring # SSA11MTKT installed. This gives better suspension support that translates the best into improved handing, comfort, and support. Scissor jacks like the part # TJSCHD-24 will do a great job supporting the RV when parked too. For a sewer hose storage container that will work with the above hose, I recommend the Valterra RV Sewer Hose Carrier part # A04-3460BK which has an inner...

  • Does Weight Distribution System Increase Towing Capacity For 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  • When towing with your Sprinter, you will not be able to tow a trailer that weighs more than the lowest rated component, either your Sprinter or the trailer hitch you install on the Sprinter. With that being said, if you install a trailer hitch like part # 75549 it has a 600-lb tongue weight capacity and a towing weight capacity of 6,000-lbs. If you use a weight distribution system with the # 75549 hitch it does increase the tongue weight capacity to 750 lbs and the towing weight capacity...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for a 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 High Roof with No Factory Roof Rack
  • Rhino-Rack RT tracks, # RRRTV208 are a great start for your 2018 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with naked roof. The tracks are compatible with certain leg styles. The legs hold the crossbars and while the tracks will accept different leg styles Rhino-Rack recommends RLTF legs # RLTF with crossbars # RB1800. These tracks will attach to the factory anchor points on the vehicle which means the installation is not as invasive as it could be on other vehicles that do not have anchor points.

  • Is Curt Hitch 13358 Going to Be Too Recessed When Installed on 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500
  • The Curt hitch part # 13358 is recessed under the step bumper like you can see in the attached picture but it's not recessed to the point it wouldn't work well. It wouldn't interfere with the camera setup either.

  • 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • For your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 you really can't go wrong with either Curt or Draw-Tite as they are both very respected brands. When choosing which one, you do want to check and see if your Sprinter has the standard bumper or the factory step bumper. If yours has the standard bumper I would go with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch part # 75549 because it is a little bit easier to install. It has a GTW of 6,000 pounds and a MTW of 600 pounds which are both the same as the...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller for 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  • Everything looks great. Since you already have the 4-way, then, the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 is exactly what you need to install a fully functional 7-Way from your 4-Way. I have attached an article that details the installation steps for this kit that you might find helpful. On your particular vehicle, the brake pedal signal wire is not easily accessible, so it is recommended to add the Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751475 for proper installation. Lastly, the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer...

  • Which Roof Rack Will Allow Solar Panel To Be Installed On 2021 Mercedes Sprinter?
  • If your 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 has factory roof tracks, which I think is what you mean by OEM roof rails, then I would look into a 4 bar roof rack so that your solar panels have more room and support. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Silver - 71" # RRVA180S-4 would be a great option; this also comes in Black # RRVA180B-4. These are aerodynamic crossbars that reduce wind noise when compared to other crossbar styles, and they also have an integrated channel on top for t-slot accessories....

These are both self-centering and self-aligning. I have attached a review video for your reference.

  • Parts Needed to Convert 4-Way of 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter to 7-Way and Install Brake Controller
  • Since you have a 4-way already 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 and an install video for this product as well. The only other thing you'll want is a stoplight switch kit part # RM-751000. The reason being that it is really hard to find a dedicated stoplight circuit on the Sprinter vans like your 2016 MB...
