In order to carry a bike rack while also flat-towing a vehicle you'll need a dual hitch adapter, the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-2, part # RM-077-4, or part # RM-077-6. Then for a bike rack, you'd just need to make sure it is rated for use on a motorhome for which we have several options, the Hollywood Racks RV Rider 2 Bike Platform Rack part # HLY64FR is what I recommend.
I have attached a full list of options below. view full answer...

Because the suspensions on towed trailers are less pliable than those used on passenger vehicles and because of the longer rear overhang, a hitch mounted accessory on a towed trailer will be subjected to more bouncing and shaking force than they would if mounted on a car, truck or van. Because of this, bike racks used in this situation need to be designed specifically for that purpose as using a 'regular' bike rack would result in it being shaken to pieces in pretty short order.

If I understand your request, you are saying that your Sprinter has a hitch with a 1-1/4" square receiver, and you would like a part that plugs into the 1/4" receiver on one end and has a 2" receiver opening on the other end. In this case the Brophy # HTAD Hitch Adapter could be a solution. It offers a 7-1/4" extension of your hitch pin holes.
We also offer the Brophy # HES6 that offers a 5-3/4" extension and the Curt # D189 that has a 7" extension.

Typically, adding the rear anti-sway bar to a vehicle will solve the vast majority of handling problems by keeping the rear axle perpendicular to the vehicle frame. This reduces sway and helps reduce wandering.
Roadmaster doesn't offer a front anti-sway bar for your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, so it's a moot point but I'm confident that installing the Roadmaster # RM-1209-131 will provide a large improvement in the handling behavior of your motorhome.

To help stabilize/reduce rattle with your e-bike rack on your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, I recommend the etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007.
The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Stabilizer # e99007 will help reduce movement, side-to-side and up-and-down. It also has a steel construction with a vinyl coating, so it is heavy duty like you are wanting.
I have included a review video that demonstrates how well this anti-rattle, hitch stabilizer works. view full answer...
For your Siesta RV that uses the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, I recommend installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195. This is an excellent proportional controller that will activate your trailer's brakes at the same time and with the same intensity that you apply to them in your RV. It will work well with LED trailer lights because it does not use any taillight circuits for activation.
To install the controller, you will just need a few items, depending on... view full answer...
We do have a handful of tire chain options for the 215/85-16 size tires on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. I wasn't quite sure if you were looking for single tire or dual tire chains so I'll add my recommendation for both.
For single tires I recommend the Konig XB16 # TH01571245 because they have great quality and used D-Links in a diamond pattern for a consistent ride quality.
Then for dual tires I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Chains # TC4219CAM which have a twist link in a... view full answer...
The full replacement towing mirrors like the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors are not offered for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, only the domestic Ram, GM, and Ford models. That said, we do still have an option to extend the field of view helping you keep a closer eye on the trailer. For this, the best option is the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2 which is easy to install/use. view full answer...
For your 2021 Entegra Qwest 24R that is built on a 2021 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 you'd want the Roadmaster sway bar part # RM43VR. view full answer...
I can totally see why that seems like it would help but unless you could ensure that the seal was watertight you'd end up allowing moisture to get into the hitch tube but not able to easily evaporate which would then make potential corrosion even worse due to prolonged exposure to moisture.
Best option is keep the holes open, keep the hitch reasonably clean, and rinse off any salt exposure as soon as you can. Also don't be afraid to hit the hitch with spray paint to cover up paint chips... view full answer...
For your 2020 Dynamax Isata 3, I recommend the Redarc TowPro Elite # RED44FR. This is a great proportional brake controller, that is low profile, and can be used on trailers up to 3 axles. When installed, only a control knob is exposed, getting rid of unnecessary bulk and creating a slick look.
If you don't already have a 7 way # ETBC7, or a 4 pole # A35W42B, you'll need to add one first before installation. view full answer...
We have the Titan tire chains part # TC4219CAM which are a fit for the tire size you have on your Sprinter of 215/85-16 and would work great. These are a twist link style of chain which means it would be a little smoother and these are a dually design so they will cover both tires on either side of the vehicle.
If breaking up ice was the priority over ride you would instead want the V-bar part # TC4819CAM, or if deep snow the square link # TC4219SCAM. view full answer...
I looked up the Bluetti PV200 Watt Solar Panel and show it draws up to 9.7 amps at max current. Therefore, a 10 amp charge controller like the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller with USB Port part # 34280503 will work and is what I recommend. It has multiple charging modes for different battery types, and easy to read LCD display, and a USB port for quick charging of smaller accessories. view full answer...

The Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover - 23" x 19.5" x 10.25" - Black # DMC38FR you were looking at for your Fan-Tastic Vent Fan will stick out right at 2-1/2" from the perimeter mounting screws securing your fan to the roof.
You will need to make sure you have at least that much clearance on each side for the cover to fit. view full answer...

I do have options for you to help control sway on your 2018 Thor Motor Coach Gemini 24TX but they do not make a steering stabilizer for this chassis to my knowledge. Instead, I recommend adding a rear anti-sway bar like the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar for Vans part # RM-1209-131. The rear anti-sway bar is actually going to do more for you in regards to sway control compared to a steering stabilizer. The rear anti-sway bars are also typically the most beneficial enhancement that you can... view full answer...
In order to both carry bikes and flat-tow a vehicle at the same time, you'd need to use an adapter on the motorhomes hitch, I recommend the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter like part # RM-077-2 as it's designed for this exact purpose. In order to choose the correct one, you'll need to make sure your tow bar is within 3" of level while using the adapter. The above offers a 2-1/4" drop but if you need a different one you can choose from the list below. If you don't know how much drop... view full answer...
Verify that you have the P3 part # 90195 mounted in the orientation it needs to be to function properly (see picture) and that the red wire is attached to a circuit that sees only voltage when the brakes are applied. Most likely the problem is related to either one of those. view full answer...
