Re: [A/S] Re: Hensley Hitch Not Required (?)
I have to agree with Chuck and Jim. I've pulled Airstreams since the late
60's. I have used Surburbans, Blazer (full size) and pickups. The short
wheel base on the Blazer gave me a bouncing problem with my 31 ft. Airstream
(late 60's Blazer and Airstream) from the expansion joints in the highway. I
have never felt any stability problem with any of my tow vehicles or any of
the four different Airstreams I have towed. I have always used an equilizing
hitch and sway control devices. In the earlier Airstreams I used a friction
type sway control and now use a cam type sway control. I have seen the
Hensley video, but have never felt the need to go to the extra expense to
purchase thier hitch. I am very pleased with the hitch set up I have and see
no need to switch. I have towed through the West and Southwest a number of
times.
I do have the Hensley clamp on mirrors and like them very much.
I guess hitches are like tow vehicles. Some people like GM; some like Ford,
and some like Chrysler.
Ain't compitition GREAT!
