Expert Answers about Freightliner Sprinter


  • Recommended Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Compatible With Bike Rack
  • There is one spare tire mount made for an application like this. It is the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225. This will give you a spare tire holder that can swing down for easier removal and will give you a 2 inch receiver for a bike rack. I recommend using a lock like # e98892 to secure your spare and a hitch lock like # BD580402 to secure your accessory. For a bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack...

  • Adding New AC Unit To Freightliner Van - What System Do I Need?
  • Hello Roger. For a whole new AC unit I recommend the Furrion Chill HE RV Air Conditioner System # FR92PR. This is a complete AC system so you get your rooftop unit and your distribution box to go directly below it. This is a manual distribution box, so controls for the AC will be on the ceiling. If you want an AC system with a wall thermostat, use part # FR55PV instead. I have provided a link to our install video for you below. Keep in mind the AC unit weighs about 84 lbs, so please be...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 4-Way and 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2004 Freightliner Sprinter
  • Hey Gabe. Since you do not have the factory harness to add a 4-way or 7-way connector to your 2004 Freightliner Sprinter you will need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter item # C59236. This connector is going to wire into your tail light harness and then you'll need to run a power line directly to your battery. This will give you a 4-way connector that controls your trailer's lighting functions. If you're wanting to add a 7-way connector you will also need the Universal Installation...

  • Can a RV with Air Brakes Have an Electric Brake Controller Installed
  • That's actually what we recommend the most for people towing trailers with electric brakes that have tow vehicles with air brakes. Installing a P2 part # 90885 will allow you to totally bypass having to interface with the air system and will work very well. Hardwiring a brake controller isn't too difficult. It basically is just a matter of running a few wires. One to the positive post of the battery, one to the ground, one to the trailer connector, and then one to the stoplight circuit. I...

  • How to Wire in a Brake Controller in a 2005 Holiday Rambler Endeavor
  • The brake wire you need is terminated in a connector under the left side control panel next to the driver seat of your 2005 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. There should be a cover on the vertical side of the panel facing the driver seat and the connector will be behind it. There should be a 12 volt power wire (run black wire here), a ground wire (white wire), a brake switch wire (red wire) and a brake output circuit (blue wire) there. I attached an FAQ on brake controller installs for you to...

  • Installing a Trailer Brake Controller in 2007 Winnebago Freightliner Chassis and Factory Harness
  • A brake controller harness is not available for the Freightliner chassis vehicles but I can tell you the functions of the wires. First, lets look at your 5 wires. The red wire that is hot with the ignition is the 12 volt power wire and it will connect to the black wire on the brake controller. Skipping ahead to thee 4th wire, greenish, this is an illumination circuit and is not used by the brake controller. The 5th wire is input from the brake switch and will attach to the brake controller...

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 2014 Thor Palazzo on a Freightliner XCS Chassis
  • I do not have a plug-in style brake controller harness that was designed for a Freightliner XCS chassis brake port, but I do have a hard wire kit that will allow you to complete the installation of a brake controller. I spoke with Thor Motor Coach, and he said Freightliner will put a brake port on their chassis, but they are not aware of a harness that will fit. There are 4 wires on a brake controller that need to be connected. Since your RV has a brake controller port, you may be able...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2006 Fleetwood Class A Ford F-53 Motorhome
  • According to Fleetwood, the factory port or plug for a brake controller on the Ford F-53 chassis is coiled underneath the dash. Look for a 5 pin gray connector. I believe if you look in the center console area (right of the steering column) and up under the dash it will be there. The correct brake controller harness you would need is the part # 3034-P. Nearly all brake controllers would work, there is nothing about your vehicle that would prevent a brake controller from being installed....

  • Hitch Receiver Needed to Install on Inside Frame of a 2003 Freightliner Sprinter
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 14250 that you referenced does mount on the inside of the trailer frame, but it does require bolts to be run through from the outside of the frame (see attached picture). You will need to make sure that you have room on your frame as this is the best option for you. The only other options mount on the outside of the frame on your 2003 Freightliner Sprinter. I have linked the installation instructions for you to check out. If you let me know what you...

  • Will the Draw-Tite Hitch # 75210 fit a 2006 Dodge Sprinter with a Factory Step Bumper
  • The Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75210, is for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter with a 140 inch or 158 inch wheelbase and either single or dual rear wheels. It will not fit the 118 inch wheelbase vehicle. To fit the Sprinter with the dual rear wheels the width between the frame rails will need to measure 35-1/4 inches. On the 2006 Dodge Sprinter, the Draw-Tite hitch # 75210 will fit if you have the factory bumper that is molded to match the design of the vehicle. It will not fit your...

  • As long as the exhaust pipe of your vehicle is between 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches in diameter the part # PM-5104 would fit.

  • Can a 10,000 Pound Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2015 Allegro RED RV on Freightliner Chassis
  • If the Freightliner chassis is a Sprinter then none of the hitches available, see link, are rated for 10,000 pounds. They max out at 7,500 when using weight distribution. You will also want to consult the vehicle owners manual for the towing capacity because it the vehicle is not rated for 10,000 pounds it won't matter if a hitch is rated that high. You always go by the lowest rated component in the system. If the vehicle can handle 10,000 pounds then you will have to get a weld-on truck...

  • Recommended Portable Solar Panel System For Charging An AGM Battery
  • There are portable solar panel system available that will allow for exactly what you're wanting to do. The only thing you'll need to know is just how much power you're needing to replenish with the system in a day. The Go Power Eco Solar Charging System - 10 Watt Solar Panel # 34273836 you were looking at has to be mounted to something because it doesn't come with a stand and is only a 10 watt panel, so you'll only replenish approximately 3.42 amp hours a day in peak conditions.
