I installed a Curt hitch on the wagon yesterday, then installed trailer light wiring today. I still need to wire in the brake controller, charging line, and 7-way plug for my camper, but I am all set to tow my utility trailer.

Neat!! What's the rating on this hitch?

2,500 pounds, 200 pound tongue weight.

Neat?

I don't think so. Don't you guys wish you could get what we have over this side?

McBrew

Your trailers, hitches, and tow ratings are better than ours. Most campers here have tongue weights above 300 pounds. I had limited choices when looking for a camper with a TW under 200 pounds. We don't even get parking brakes on our trailers!

And you can thank the ambulance chasing attorneys for all of this.....

That's a nice looking ride you have there! I've been thinking for a while (well, mostly since buying the wife's E320) that I should have a W210 wagon in my life. It would probably work pretty well for towing my teardrop trailer.

And presently I tow said teardrop behind my Miata.

I got the 7-way plug installed, as well as the braking system. I decided to get the Prodigy RF brake system, which is attached to the trailer and has an RF remote in the car. The brakes work even when not connected to the remote... the remote is mainly just there to change settings and to display status.

That hitch looks great! I have a 2000 E320 Wagon that I would like to install a hitch on. Can you show some more detailed pictures of how the angle iron is attached to the hitch? Is it inside the car or underneath the car? Thanks
