I have just bought my first MB about a month ago , an E320 cdi Avantgarde and i am so pleased i did , now i want to fit a towbar for towing a 1500kg caravan .
Firstly will a non MB towbar be ok ? , and secondly the electrics , can MB supply a wiring kit ? , and if so does this plug in to the existing wiring loom ?.
Can i get hold of a wiring kit that is not MB , and it will do the same ?.
The vehicle is fitted with the parking sensors , how are these affected ?.
And lastly how will the gearbox fair with towing this 1500kg caravan , are they liable to overheat ? .
Sorry for all the questions guys , but as a newbie i want to do everything right .
Thanks
