Does anybody have experience with this hitch? I've been researching it and it sounds good. The DW is white knuckled going down the highway so I need something besides the traditional sway bar that we have now. Any reviews one way or the other would be helpful. Thanks

I have one . It does everything they claim. Wouldn't be without it. The pro pride guy will be in here shortly tryin to sell his.

The thing about Hensley they have a LONG track record. No sway whatsoever with my sunset 30RE, look on craigslist good deals are out there.

Thanks! It's pretty pricey but worth it sounds like!

I Owned A Hensley 10 years ago. I Now Own A ProPride And Find The ProPride Less Expensive,Simplier And Easier To Hit The Hole. Both Are Great Products. Work As Advertised.

I was ready to jump on the Hensley and then I got this email from my dealer. Anybody else been told this? Can't imagine having to remove it for service. Already have to drive 60 + miles to the dealer!<div dir="ltr" align="left" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; ">We have no way of moving the trailer around our lot with this hitch attached to your trailer, it is a huge liability for us, so I won't except a trailer with it, but if you need service, you have the option of removing it when you get here and we can service your trailer, we just can't do it with this hitch attached.</span><div dir="ltr" align="left" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; "></span>

I spent the last two trips white knuckeling! I will be ordering a new hitch tomorrow, I have the numbers and will be going with the lowest price. (Not going to mention that here, isn't fair or right) It will bethe style of HA and PP and I'm hoping this keeps me from fearing for my families lives. I have a long trip to Florida from NJ coming up and the simple 1 hour trip I took to the campground (again, won't mention where because I have issues with them) have crapping security and it seems people in my general vacinity decided while I was away with the family for a few hours that someone or someones would take my WDH leverage bar and turn on my hitch light as well as play with the button to raise and lower the hitch! this did cause my trailer to be way off level when I returned and Ihad to listen to the wife tell me how the trailer was tilted to one side after I spent so much time earlier leveling it. Anyway, I'm guessing it was little kids as I didn't see anyone watching their kids! They seem to think it's ok to just letthem run free without parental guidance. There were other issues but thank goodness I had a big ass wrench to lock those chains or I'd still be there.



Ok, nuff babbeling from me....



Happy Camping!, (after two times already I realize it's not camping when you have a full bath at your desposal!)

Sean,

thanks again for your help last week setting up my hitch..

Mark
