Why do you feel that the HA's ability to reduce the magnitude of lateral loads combined with its ability to move the pivot point closer to the TV's rear axle is not a sufficient explanation of its anti-sway capabilities?
Well, that depends on how/why you believe the Hensley 'reduces the magnitude of lateral loads'. Perhaps you already hashed that out earlier in this thread and I glossed over it. If so, I apologize.
If you include in there that the reason it reduces that lateral load, is because of the 'locking' the Hensley does (on trailer side) when being pulled, then yes, I would agree, that this is a sufficient explanation.
However, I do not feel that strictly the Hensley's ability to move the pivot point forward 47" is enough of an explanation, to explain what I and others have experienced towing with it. If that was truly all it was doing, I firmly believe our towing experience would not be quite as good as it is now, with the Hensley. Perhaps there is another explanation, but I don't know what it might be. That was why I started this thread, to try and find that explanation. :B
