  • Comparing the Konig XB16 and XG12 Tire Chains for My 2006 Sprinter Van
  • The Konig XG12 Pro # TH01594245 tire chains will be easier to install on the 225/76-16 tires for your 2006 Dodge Sprinter, but you are correct that you need to go with the XB16 # TH01571245 instead. I recently reached out to Konig who said that the chains themselves don't necessarily have a weight rating but the smaller chains don't work well for larger vehicles like your Sprinter as they can be damaged. The XB16 chains will work great for your application though so that's what I recommend...

  • What Size T-Bolts Comes with Thule HideAway Awning Roof Rack Adapter
  • The adapter for the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490010 that you referenced that allows it to fit in the top channels of roof rack crossbars is the part # TH490001 which does come with M8 T-Bolts like the part # 853-5715 that you mentioned.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Solution for Front Mount Hitch on 2004 Dodge Sprinter Van
  • The only option for a front hitch on your 2004 Dodge Sprinter is a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07. Unfortunately, nobody makes a custom fit front hitch for your van. This is a Class V weld-on hitch. It includes 7" brackets, but if you need longer brackets the # 41990-16 with 16" brackets is also available. We recommend taking this to a certified welder for installation.

  • Adapting a 6-Way to a 7-Way on a Winnebago View to Tow a Trailer with Electric Brakes
  • There are a couple of things you can do. First, you could convert the vehicle side connector to a 7-Way by using # 47435, which is just an adapter. This is going to be the easiest way to be able to use the 7-Way on the trailer without having to hardwire anything new on the vehicle. The other thing you can do is cut off the 7-Way connector on the trailer and install a 6-Way to match the vehicle. This is more work and is not necessary. Because the 6-Way connector you have now has a brake...

  • Choosing Between Curt 14250 and Draw-Tite 75210 for 2003 Dodge Sprinter Van
  • Because we haven't installed either hitch at our facility, I don't have the specific dimensions you're needing, but I can provide a ballpark figure that could be helpful to you. When installed, the top of the receiver tube for either hitch will sit about 1 inch below the rear bumper of the vehicle, which means that the underside of the hitch will sit right about 4 inches below the underside of the bumper. The face of the receiver tube will protrude about 1-1/2 inches past the rear edge...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendations for 2006 Dodge Sprinter Ambulances
  • Because an ambulance will have a lot of equipment and in it and the the weight of people, the stock suspension will be compressed already. This can lead to the rough ride you described. Adding a Timbren system like # TMBRSP25 for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 or # TMBRSP35 for a 3500 will reduce the stress on the factory suspension and absorb road shock and reduce roll. This will provide a much better ride. Both sets have a capacity of 8,600 pounds and are made of rubber. I have included...
