Hidden Hitch Sprinter Van Hitches

Hitches - The Hitch is the mechanism that is typically mounted to the rear of a vehicle under the bumper.  There are five classes of Hitches for towing trailers.  Each class is designed for a specific trailer weight range.  When selecting the appropriate hitch make sure the weight rating of the hitch is greater than the loaded weight of the trailer that will be towed.  The tow vehicle capacity for weight carrying and hitch attachment will vary and will sometimes dictate the class of hitch that can be used.

Electrical - By law, trailer lighting must be connected into the tow vehicle's wiring system to provide trailer running lights, turn signals and brake lights. This is accomplished by tapping into the tow vehicle's electrical harness to transfer power to the trailer wiring system. Connectors are used between the two to allow disengagement when not towing.
