RE: [a/s] Hitch adjustment



I have conducted considerable research over eighteen months (note: NO
personal experience - this is all hearsay) and have concluded that the
PullRite hitch best meets my needs because 1) the Hensley is considerably
more expensive for (arguably) the same functionality, and 2) it has been
said that the Hensley can be difficult to hook up (ie requires greater
precison in alignment than other hitches). 

Another factor is that the Hensley goes on the trailer and the PullRite
goes on the towing vehicle. I have a longer term commitment to my towing
vehicle than to my Airstream (probably an unusual situation) at this point.

I would be uncomfortable (based on my research) with someone telling me
that I was putting my life and Western Civilization in danger because I did
not select the Hensley hitch, although persons whose judgment I respect
have chosen the Hensley.
