Hello all,
I just purchased a new 2720 Trailmanor from out of state and need to get it back. I have a 2022 Nissan Frontier I'll use as the tow vehicle. Rated for 6,500 pounds. I don't have a trailer hitch yet although the Nissan has the tow package so has the rectangular receiver and 7 pin connector in place.

Reading the forum I see that the Andersen Hitch is a good way to go. A bit pricey at over $650 but I presume worth it. Problem is that that hitch takes some skill and tools to install for the first time. And I'm not sure I'll have that in my out of state location at the dealer. So my question is. If I don't use a good weight distribution hitch, then what would be a good inexpensive temporary one that gets the job done for a one time 1500 mile trip? Will pretty much any old hitch with a ball work as long as it's Class III and the right size? Does anyone have an exact recommendation for what I should purchase?

Thanks much in advance for anyone who can weigh in with an opinion!
