RE: [A/S] Re: A different hitch option



Hi Arnie, I may be reading your statement incorrectly, but a Hensley hitch
is not the same operating principle at all.  Your Reese Dual Cam, the
Equalizer, and all the other "standard hitches" work on the principles of
friction controlling sway.

The Hensley does not use friction at all.  Saying that it "operates the same
as all the rest" is a misrepresentation of the hitch, there is a significant
difference in the physics "rules" that a friction system uses and the
Hensley uses.

If your statement was to indicate that the equalizer operates the same as
all the rest, you are correct.
