As a newbie to the Grey Nomads arena I could do with some help. We'd like to get a tent for the side of our Merc Sprinter so that we can leave it set up in the Caravan park whilst we go sight seeing. Has anyone got a suggestion to make about a suitable tent for this purpose? Thanks for your input. Keith

We've been researching on-line again and are impressed with the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch which promises silent, anti-sway, anti-bounce weight distribution. At $799 it compares favourably with other top-end brands, but is still an expensive outlay. Any comments?
