What sort of wiring are you looking for ? two x 7pin = 12n & 12s ? or 13pin ? if you have a look on HERE they are listed the type of tow bar & wiring.

I think there is a retractable ball fitting for the E Class. Certainly a removable one - I think MB re-badge a westphalia bar. The Grand Aero towing mirrors work well - you will need to use all the arm extension if your van is one of the newer, wider type.
Westfalia do not produce a retractable towball for the Mercedes E Class, only a detachable one. Brink do.
Thanks guys what a wealth of great info, I don't mind aboout the 13 pin as I understand new vans are already using this and it is one less thing to bolt on to the car and can get an adapter. I do quite like the idea of a retractable bar like the Brink jobbie but I have just seen the RRP. so I may just settle for a removeable one. I have also quizzed my MB independant engineer about addtional transmission cooling and he says it is not required.
I tow a 2006 4 berth Challenger so I think the body is a few inches wider than our old van. My old tow car was a BMW E39 (5 series) and I had instant fit BMW mirrors which I can recommend
thak you once again. Adrian
