Welcome to team orange! After a few times, you will get the hang of "threading the stinger". I hitched up last Saturday all by myself. I had to get in and out of the vehicle a total of 3 times. I would have done the same with a traditional ball and coupler layout. The nice thing about the Hensley is that after a few times, you get the "feel" of when you are in and when you can safely unhitch. You can also pivot the stinger box side to side so that helps.

One of the many things I like about the Hensley is the smooth hitch and unhitch process (assuming you have grease on the stinger). No hang ups. I just let the vehicle idle its way in and out. If it needs extra umph, then something is wrong.

Important safety tip - make sure your struts are nice and snug. They may loosen up after a few trips and that will cause problems. And if you need any help, send me a PM.
