Sway control or not?

That video is a perfect example of why Hensley and Propride hitches were developed in the first place.

Grant it, any accident can occur out of stupidity or driver error. But from the looks of how the trailer movement began, it is clear that a properly installed Hensley or Propride would have neutralized the forces that initiate "trailer sway". Ask any Hensley or Propride owner.


A properly installed non-Hensley WDH with sway control would have prevented that too. Hensley is for folks who do not know how to setup a hitch correctly.

Properly sized bars/WDH to trailer weight (tongue weight) setup correctly
Sway control setup correctly
Properly loaded trailer
Properly sized TV

No Hensley needed and save $2K. [emoji846]
