We purchased our 2018 Sprinter/RoadTrek CS Adventurous last week 6/24/21. The purchase was 75 miles away and I am the only driver. I hooked up the empty open tandem car trailer to my BMW ///M40i and drove down to OC. Put the trailer behind the Sprinter, installed the Weight Distribution Hitch (WDH) then loaded the BMW on the trailer. Drove back up the hill to High Desert (SoCal) towing about 5800#s. The Cajon Pass has 6%+ grade at times, that slowed us to around 50mph in a few places, but never went to full throttle. Staying in the truck lanes, had no problem keeping up and passing the slower guys. BTW ambient air temp was 100° on the way home.
I am new to class B's , but experienced towing things. I wanted the RoadTrek to tow my open car trailer to the race track with my 68 Camaro. The Camaro and trailer weigh 4400#'s so it will be easier than the Bimmer/trailer combo was.
I looked long and hard for a Class B Sprinter that was NOT an XL. Mine is 22'9". I figured having the tow ball 16 inch's closer to the rear axle would help the handling and I feel it does.
I have tried to post a pic, hoping it comes out.
