It's definitely harder than a standard WD hitch, but under the right conditions it's just a learning process. On uneven surfaces it's a pain. Constant stop starting since the stinger needs to go in straight. If the Tow vehicle and TT are in a 'V' shape the you need to stop, adjust the HA, go a little further, stop, adjust and so on. I had a used one for our last TT. When I hooked up the TT my truck was in the street and the TT in the driveway. As you know streets have a crown to them so the stinger was pointing down and the HA was level. So I had to back up a little, the raise the HA, back up some more, raise the HA and repeat till the stinger was all the way in. PITA. Also if you dry camp on dirt or gravel spots, then it's possible that the TT/TV won't be level when you back in. You'll need to fiddle with it to get hitched up to leave. Unless you have a backup camera then it always had to have my wife help. PITA also. On the plus side towing with it was great. IMO if you're mostly on flat paved surfaces then it's really pretty easy to hitch up. Any thing but flat and you will need to fiddle with it.
