Question:

Hello, I am looking for advice on snow chains for my Winnebago Revel 2021 Sprinter 2500, 4x4, tire size 265/70R17. Rear tire clearance is 1 inch from rear of tire to mudflap and 2 inches from front of tire to wheel well. Have been driving in snow every winter in it but concerned about a steep snow packed long driveway in Vermont this year and would like to have a set for emergency’s.

Hey Brooks, thanks for reaching out, and good call thinking ahead for a Vermont winter. Yes, we do have chains that will fit your 2021 Winnebago Revel on the Sprinter 2500 4x4 chassis with 265/70R17 tires. With the tight clearances you mentioned (1 inch at the rear and 2 inches at the front), you’ll definitely want a low-profile, drape-over style chain, since they sit tighter to the tire and give you the best chance of avoiding contact with the wheel well, mud flaps, or suspension components.

For your setup, the Konig snow chains are absolutely the way to go. They’re the highest-quality option out there, extremely durable, and much easier to install compared to standard ladder chains, especially when you’re dealing with a long, snow-packed driveway or an emergency situation. The self-tensioning system also keeps the chain centered and tight on the tire, which helps protect your wheel wells when space is limited.

One thing to note: Mercedes typically recommends using chains only on the rear axle for Sprinter 4x4 models, mainly because of ABS/traction control behavior and clearance up front, so you’ll want to stick with chains on the rear only unless the owner’s manual states otherwise. Also be sure to drive slowly with chains installed and take them off as soon as you hit clear pavement to avoid unnecessary wear.

All that being said, here is the exact set I recommend:

Hey Brooks, how did the Konig snow chains work out on your Winnebago Revel this winter? I’m curious if the low-profile design gave you enough clearance around the mud flaps and wheel wells. Sharing your results could really help others with the same Sprinter setup.
