Don't know if it's been mentioned here, but when hooking up straight I saw somewhere that when backing up to the hitch look in your outside rear view mirrors. If you can see either side of the trailer you are backing up crooked. This has helped me more than anything.
The above is of no use when hooking up at an angle.
There is a definite learning period with the Hensley, but since I have done it a few times I can do it much quicker than my old DC hookup.
I still blow it on occasion, but am too lazy to use hookup aids, line up balls, sticks, mirror or wife to guide. No further comment on the last option.
