Hi Deborah; it may be possible to make a ramp from another brand work with your RockyMounts bike rack but there are no ramps specifically made by them and it depends on the exact model. I typically recommend swapping for a bike rack that comes with a ramp or has one for that particular model.

If you have the RockyMounts AfterParty # RKY37ZR you were looking at you could trade it out for the Kuat Piston Pro # KU76ZR or Inno Tire Hold HD # IN25RR. Both of these have ramps you can add separately. It may be possible to use one of these ramps with the AfterParty but it has never been tested so we can't guarantee fitment.

The Kuat has the # KU63VR and the Inno has the # IN52RR available for a ramp. To add the swing away feature so you can access the rear of your Sprinter you could use the Yakima BackSwing # Y02483. If you have a different bike rack please let me know and I will see if there is a better solution.

Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars are great options. But if it was my decision to make I would go with the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 as we have found that the Blue Ox tow bars are a little easier to connect and disconnect from. Also this tow…

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…

Since wire color codes are NOT universal, we always recommend wiring by function, rather than wire color. If you look at the Trailer Wiring FAQ article I have linked you to, you can see some diagrams showing the proper way to wire a vehicle and…
