Order direct from Dennis. He's on the list here. Shipping may not be
as bad as one might think. The quality of the hitch outweighs and
freight cost considerations. GEt a good hitch  and be done with it once
and for all. I have three vans - and have the Haynes hitch on my
Burgundy '88. The other two are project vans, but as soon as they are
ready for the road - they get Haynes hitches.

BTW - I'm in Alabama - so freight probably is not to different.
