WDH to fit my 2014 Sprinter 316BIK

I am looking for a new Wdh, but worried about the fit, as it is tight between my battery box and propane tanks which are mounted in the front of the TT. TV 2017 F250 6.7 Powerstroke

Equalizer 4pt. works flawlessly and is economical. We never had an issue with ours.

All the trailer manufacturers know that you will likely use a W/D hitch. All the hitch manufacturers know the trailer manufacturers put stuff in the way. Most every W/D hitch I have ever used, has a range of distance from the ball where the brackets can be placed. If it were me, I would get measurements of where you could easily mount those brackets (on the trailer frame) and use that when looking for a hitch.


All the hitches listed above are great. Some are better than others for certain scenarios.

Most round bar/Chain saddles end up 30" from the ball. 4 pt. Equalizer likes the saddle at 28"-31" from the ball. Most common problem is the bolt to hold the saddle on the chain type is too long and hits the battery box. On rare occasion we have to move the break-away switch.

My wdh brackets set right up next to the tank covers and pretty close to the brake controller appx. 29 1/2 to 30 inches can`t remember cause I move them and set the hitch up myself, cause I`m kind of ocd about stuff lol. I want tell you what hitch to buy because I`ve not used them all. But if a friend or family member ask I would tell them in a heartbeat. I tow with a 2017 f250 and can say that it is a solid and relaxing tow.
