Some years ago I bought a hitch from Dennis and still have it, moving it
from van to van as I traded into a newer (to me) van. That thing is hell
for stout. Saved me from getting smashed in the rear by a big truck. In
spite of the blow it is still intact. I would highly recommend his hitches.
You would not go wrong.
