[A/S] Hensley



We just returned from our first trip with our Hensley Arrow. I will 
admit a little trepidation about spending so much on a hitch, but I can 
now say that if you have never pulled with one, you can't really 
understand the difference. There is no way I'll ever pull a trailer 
without one again.

I even did a couple of low-speed wheel waggles, and the trailer just 
will not fish-tail. I can't get over having trucks pass at speed and 
having NO effect on my rig staying in the lane.

I'll get down off the soap box now, but I'll leave it with this: 
everyone who is considering one of these hitches asks for opinions 
beforehand. They get lots of responses from people who advise them not 
to spend the money, that the hitch isn't worth it. These are usually 
people who haven't spent the money, so they really don't know.

I also like the fact that the hitch puts my trailer about a foot farther 
away from my truck, and this makes backing easier.
