Re: [A/S] Newbee question: How necessary is a Hensley?
Not that I would reccommend it but I have towed my tradewind well over 20k
miles with no equlising hitch and no sway bars Ihave towed in eavery emangle
road condition Strong cross winds downporing rain washboard roads in Texas
had semis blow past me at 100mph Crossed the national devide twice made panic
stops and never once did I feel not in controll of my rig .I tow
under 70 mph mostly around 60-65 mph.I have heavy duty sprengs in the rear
and air shocks which I air up to 90psi.I have a very close cupling on the
trailer I always tow with the water tank full and holding tanks empty so that
i have a grate deal of weight on the hitch. That said I would never try this
with a light duty pick up or on most of the SUVs altho I used this setup on a
3/4 ton burb.
