If you decide to go with the Hensley or Pro Pride which is the next generation Hensley, it will be money well spent toward the most important aspect of your RVing experience and that is the safety of yourself, passengers and others on the road. The Equalizer brand hitch is a pretty good hitch, but it is only a "way control" hitch, NOT a "sway elimination" hitch like the Hensley and Pro Pride are. I tow a 33 ft TT with a Ram 2500 CTD and originally had the Equalizer. After a road trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and still feeling when big trucks pass and when I would pass them and also side wind shifts and ultimately one white knuckle experience, I researched and purchased the Pro Pride 3P system. I have since towed enough to compare the difference and I will tell you that with the new hitch, the TT tracks like it is on rails and I no longer even feel when big rigs pass or when I pass them. Before anyone says that my equalizer would do the same if it was set up properly, it WAS set up properly and there is NO comparison between a "sway control" hitch and a "sway elimination" hitch when it comes to peace of mind in keeping your precious cargo safe! To me, avoiding just one white knuckle experience that could lead to a deathly situation is worth every single $$ that you invest. Good luck to you in your decision but I hope this helps!
