  • Compact Cars with Automatic Transmissions that Can Be Flat Towed
  • It is very common for automatic transmission vehicles to need to be started and ran for a couple minutes every couple of hours or at every fuel stop. This is because the engine lubricates while running, so every couple hours of towing the engine will need to be lubricated again by running. Typically, an RV will need to be refueled every 5 to 6 hours, so the towed vehicle can be started whenever the RV needs fuel. In my research, I found several compact, automatic cars that can be flat...

  • How to Prevent the Hitch from Scraping on a 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  • I do have an option for you but due to the way the vehicle is setup, all of the trailer hitches they make for it will hang down rather low. The other option I have for you to prevent it from scraping the pavement would be to use a skid wheel like the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector part # RM-050. The skid wheel attaches to the hitch via the hitch pin hole and will prevent the receiver tube opening from scraping the pavement on inclines. I have attached a photo to show how...

  • What Is The Extra 2 Prong Wire Pigtail For Behind The Tail Light of the Rola Cargo Carrier?
  • Yes, the 2 wires that you found behind the tail light of the Pod for Rola Enclosed Cargo Carriers # 10188 is for a license plate light if required. I would recommend using the Mini LED Trailer License Plate Light # OPT77FR so that you can run the wiring inside the Rola Carrier as the Rola specific light is no longer available.

  • Do Internal TMPS Sensors Require Any Venting
  • The TST TPMS # TST-507-INT-6-C is designed to clamp around the wheel before you mount the tires. You won't need to vent any air pressure unless you overloaded the tire's max psi rating. With this style of sensor you wouldn't need worry about the type of valve stem either, like you do with a flow-through style sensor.

  • That's a good question, and no, SumoSprings will not raise your 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500. They are designed to add support but not any height so there won't be any lift.

  • Is There a Formula for Determining Air Pressure in Trailer
  • There is no special formula for tire pressure in regards to the load of your trailer as you normally want to inflate the tire to the maximum cold psi for the best performance.

The maximum capacity of these load range C tires is 1,050 lbs each so if you have the same or similar tire you...
