Re: [A/S] Hensley Mounting



Ahhh Haa,

It was I!  Had to move the lower tank bracket on both the '69 Safari 23 and
the '74 Argosy 22 to get the 25 1/2, +/- 1/2 inches from the center of the
ball to the front edge of the bracket.  Could have left the bracket in
excess of the Hensley specification, but why take a chance with the
performance of the hitch?

The '69 Safari took considerable work to reweld the center cross bar and
move the bracket about 3 inches forward.  No more hand crank as electric is
required.

The '74 Argosy only took 2 inches and the hold down post bent enough so I
didn't have to move the center cross brace.

Possibly I have the only two units in the world where the propane tank lower
bracket interferes with the proper mounting of the brackets?

                     '74 Argosy, Joy
