I agree it is easier to hook up a HA on level ground vs. an incline. I also agree a ball hitch is easier to hitch than an HA.
Nevertheless hitching is not a problem. Keep in mind HA are most beneficial for those towing longer heavier trailers. Those trailer are not going to really remote off the beaten path areas. If one wants to do remote camping using an HA ground clearance will be a bigger issue than hitching.
In the end if you are camping in areas that have some sort of man made road or cleared path you'll be fine with an HA. If you going to areas so remote there are no roads consider a different hitch and maybe a different combo altogether.
If you have some sort of incline on the side of your house an HA will adjust and hitch without issue.
Focusing on the hitching characteristics of the HA is short sighted. The focus should be on how well the HA performs while towing. You do not need to feel or fear the push from 18 wheelers and large passing vehicles.
The HA and PP work far better than the conventional hitches. Since I have experienced the ability of the HA I would never tow a long heavier trailer without one.
