I called & spoke with Hensley today AND they sure don’t give those away do they? Wow! Sticker shock aside I believe they answered all my questions but I wonder how accurate the height set up is with a fixed stinger? I like that the Propride offers an adjustable stinger, seems more practical to me. Does anyone have any opinions on Propride vs Hensley or fixed vs adjustable stinger?
I’m still considering another Reese dual cam set up, especially for the money but worry it won’t be enough of an improvement to justify the expense. Hmmmm.
As far as bringing the the trailer to the scales , I have found two local to me, about an hour from home each way. Now finding the time to get there is the challenge but I do understand that it would help me figure out exactly what’s going on with my set up, just need to find the time.
I agree going to the scale is worthwhile. Regardless of the hitch you need a baseline on your weights.
Hensley makes offset stingers that are still fixed but they allow you to adjust your height. While you do have to pay shipping you can exchange your stinger for a different size.
Adjustable is nice, but the stingers are already kind of heavy and a PIA to deal with. An adjustable stinger is even heavier.
Once the correct height is determined you no longer need to make any adjustments. I can see an adjustable stinger being beneficial if adjustments where constantly necessary, but once you sort things out a lighter fixed stinger is easier to handle and carry.
You only need to adjust stinger once however you need to carry /handle stinger each and every trip.
