Hooking up Hensley / Pro pride while off camber
I camp in a lot of undeveloped campgrounds where the "pad" is a potholed gravel or dirt spot that barely resembles a flat area. I typically hook up with the tow vehicle way up or down grade, tilted with respect to the trailer, or at nearly a 90 degree left/right angle from the trailer.
It appears that a Hensley would be nearly impossible to hook up in this manner. Videos and posts referring to "non-level" hookups generally show a smiling person easily hooking up while at a very gentle tilt on a nice flat asphalt or concrete surface, much like a TV infomercial.
Am I wrong in believing that for very rugged campsites, a Hensley hitch would be problematic to connect?
(Obviously with a ball hitch, there's enormous latitude in the tow vehicle orientation with respect to the trailer).
