Shoot, enough is enough! Tonight, I'm going to go rent a big crane. Then, I'll hitch up the trailer to the Excursion, and gently lift up the Excursion and trailer by the Ex's front bumper, with the crane. I'll then have to find a way with cables, ropes, etc. to tie the Excursion in place (suspended), so it cannot move around (I know, starting to sound like that F150 commercial..LOL!)
Then, y'all (Ron, Milt, and Don) can fly on over here, drink a few beers, and we can see how much force it takes to make the trailer swing back and forth. We can tie a rope to its back bumper, and try to pull it to the side with another vehicle! I know, I know - drink too many beers, and WE'LL be the ones swinging back and forth! LOL! :)
If we do that, Ron, and you find that the tension basically locks the connection so it will not swing, and we cannot get the trailer to swing/pivot), THEN, will you accept that what we've said is true?! :B
We can even take pictures, and post it on this thread! Then, everyone can see how we finally came up with an experiment, that proves once and for all how the Hensley REALLY works. Hahahahahaha!! :B
