I have the reese dual cam set up and it takes me about 3 or 4 extra minutes max to get the whole thing hooked up over when I hooked trailers up without this stuff. The electric tongue jack is your friend. Once the trailer is on the ball and locked in place, use the tongue jack to raise the rear of the truck up, this makes hooking up the bars easier to do. Get your chains, emergency brake cable and pigtail (lights/brakes) hooked up. retract the jack (we use an extra wood block underneath so it doesn't have to go down as far). Pull your chocks and off you go. The bars are as simple as sliding them into place, lifting them and using a cotter pin to hold them in place. Very easy thing to do to be ready for the just in case. By the way, integrated sway control (ie reese dual cam or equal-i-zer) is recommended for over 26 ft, friction sway bars are recommended for under 26'. Another style of hitch that is supposedly very easy but very pricey is the hensley arrow.
