Hensley SwiftArrow

Hi All

Have not posted here in a long time. Nice to be back.

We moved on to a 40 ft Bus about 6years ago which alas I had to sell 2 years ago due to a family matter but my wife is now well enough to travel again. A BIG YES from both of us.

Anyway, we decided to return to our RV roots with a TT and Truck and so the fun begins again. Will go for a 1 ton crew (maybe a F350 oil burner(short bed non dually))
and probably a Jayco Eagle TT of some flavor.

Anyway, really need to know if the SwiftArrow is as easy to hitch up (compared to the old Arrow) as Hensley claim. I used the old Arrow style with great towing results on my Mountaineer trailer but still remember the pain of hitching up! Never did get the (easy to do) hang of it!

Really do not want a PullRite drilled into the chassis which is my alternative.

I'm guessing the Propride is much like the old Arrow in terms of hitching.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

You can get the pro pride with the jacks or snap up brackets & chains. I really don't have any trouble with hitching up my pro pride, but I do have a back up camera.

Looks like too much fiddling for me.

I just went to an Equal-i-zer hitch. It is very easy to hitch, and tows very nicely compared to my old WDH with friction sway. After years of being a passenger, my wife towed on our last trip and found it comfortable to drive.
It's about 1/3 of the cost as well.
Just another consideration.
