More kudos for the Hensley!

I have commented on a couple threads about how much I LOVE the Hensley Hitch I installed on our TT. This past weekend was the first highway trip with it, 325 miles total. The TT just does not move. Incredibly stabile every where and in every situation. We had passing trucks, wind on long span of bridge, a mild panic stop, long down hill grades. I could drive 12 hours pulling with the Hensley. They are worth every penny. I would recommend a Hensley, or ProPride, to anyone.

Thumbs up Agree

The Hensley hitch is a remarkable piece of hardware. It is not a substitute for a properly sized TV, but the feeling from a strong cross wind or the push felt by a fast passing truck is no longer a white knuckle moment. Once you get the hang of hitching up, it is much quicker and no greasy bars to handle. I have a wooden rod with tape indicating the height the receiver needs to be so that trailer height can be set before even backing the TV close. There is also more forgiveness side too side then you might suspect if you need it. If your trailer is long and it gets occasionally gets moved by the air, this is the hitch style you need.

Yep. Just no substitute for safety. They ought to make these things standard equipment on all new travel trailers.
