Stew which tin tent have you got and has it got the Alko or BPW chassis as BPW do their own stabilizer hitch which also works well, had one on a Defthless van we had

Yes, that's an Al-Ko hitch. The Al-Ko AKS3004 is what you need.

The Straightliner isn't suitable for use with an airsprung vehicle. The handbook specifically advises against that type of weight distributing stabiliser.
