...return enough weight back to the TV's front axle as per your OEM's recommendation...
Have as high a tongue weight close to 15% of the trailers ACTUAL WEIGHT...have the trailer tongue either level or slightly pointing down...and stay within your TV's OEM specifications.
The driver is also a huge component of managing sway system...
Yes, the Hensley and Propride both have more possible points of failure than any other WDH on the market. Its what I call a love hate relationship!!! Towing with either one results in the same experience and life with them is not all roses and its a list of details that can make or break for certain buyers or not matter at all.
Good advice on verifying weight being returned to the front axle, as that is a priority for all WDH set ups and those having issues often fail to do so. I'm just not convinced this will result in comfortable towing, to the point the OP is content.
Mark my word, he'll be back her touting how much he likes towing with the Propride. It's no band-aid...those 2 premium price WDH's simply work as advertised, which is rare these days.
But as I mentioned the Hensley/Propride is a love/hate relationship with these hitches and I have been very open about pro's and con's of each here and other forums. Most importantly, on the road, you'll never know the difference.
