First Time with ProPride
So we just made our first drive with the ProPride hitch. Although it was only about 25 miles, it included hills (up and down), curves at freeway speeds, and a bit of breezy weather. This hitch is ...

Congratulations on the Pro-Pride they look to be a great hitch!
I came very close to purchasing a Pro-Pride hitch. I decided to try something else first and so far have been pretty happy with what I have.
A few weeks ago I did see and hear someone trying to hitch up to a Hensley. I don't know if it was the owners first experience or if it was a bad hitch angle or what. But he struggled with it for nearly 2 hours and there was a lot of banging with a sledge hammer. He had someone helping him and I didn't want to make a tense situation worse so I stayed away.
It appeared the truck and trailer were not both level side to side. The truck looked unlevel side to side and was probably making the hook up harder? Eventually he had a bunch of planks and I saw later he had left with the trailer.
For those of you with one, is this probably an inexperienced user, a bad hitch-up situation or something you have seen? The man looked a little older, but he had some help.
I couldn't help but think how much easier in this situation it would have been to hitch up to a standard ball hitch.
I'm asking not to slam the Hensley as I see its benefits, I just wonder how much frustration might come with one? Someday if I encounter enough issue with my hitch I may still look to purchase one.
I hope I don't hijack this post.
Thanks
Sounds like a highly unusual event due to a severely bad hitch-up situation. I can't imagine getting it jammed so bad that I would need a sledge hammer.
