I have an opportunity to purchase a used Hensley Arrow hitch for a good price. It seemed like a no-brainer until I started reading about the Hensley/ProPride "bump" that occurs at times when the trail...

Friction sway control is bad news in snow. If you jackknife, the friction bar can hold the jack-nife and prevent you from pulling out of it. The Hensley offers zero resistance to straightening back out. The one rear scenario where it may want to cam-over, is far less likely than any other destabilizing event you may encounter on ice.
BTW (this is mostly for squeegee_boy) - I went from a Hensely to a Dual Cam for capacity reasons, and I did not notice any degradation in ice and snow, so I'm not sure you'll realize the stability gain you are looking for. Re-reading the original post, it sounds like maybe you have some inherent instability with your setup. The only time I get any instability, is braking hard on patchy ice, or hitting deep heavy snow suddenly from drifts or lack of plowing.
