So Yes, the Hensley will work with 5% or perhaps even less tongue weight however, even though it will not allow the trailer to sway, I would not ever try to tow a trailer with that little amount.
Interesting. Why not?
Because I am a firm believer in doing things the right way and the right way to tow a trailer is to have the correct tongue weight percentage no matter what kind/type of hitch you have. It is not unheard of for a hitch to break and if that happens and you are towing with 5% hitch weight, with the travel trailers we have here in the U.S., you are in serious trouble unless you want to go really slow to your destination.
