Hensley Arrow tips

Group I just got a complete Hensley Arrow for a song and a dance. I tow. 38’ TT with our ‘05 Excursion. I do have airbags and upgraded suspension on the Excursion but I still didn’t feel stable with the Reese dual cam sway set up. I realize there is a big learning curve to using the Hensley, so any tips and trick to getting it set up and to make hitching a little easier? I’ve heard the hitching part is the big bear…..

    We had a Hensley Arrow and we bought the Hitch Helper that helps you adjust a fraction of an inch side to side when hooking up. It is worth every penny since we found that you have to be spot on to hookup smoothly. Even with this, the Arrow is worth every penny and every nuance in hooking up.

    MOST IMPORTANT!!!!! Come in strait so the "stinger" goes in the hole strait. Do NOT turn the steering wheel the last 5 feet when you back up. I lay a rope down on the ground from the TT hitch on the line I want the stinger to travel.

    If you are having problems with the stinger seating. Pull forward and start over.
