Here is my take..
I have towed years with both the dual cam then upgraded to a Hensley. I actually went through 2 Hensleys due to selling them between selling trailers. Hensley has a few flaws. The receiving mouth is weak and both of mine were elongated. You also cant pitch the hitch to get full advantage of the weight distribution. Having a non adjustable hitch bar is horrible. Propride solved for all of these and I may buy one for my next trailer. Both of these can be hard to hook / unhook but you get better with practice. I did get into a couple of binds due to uneven spots at some state campgrounds. This is where these hitches suck. Odd hooking angles and steep pitches. One time I almost had to take off my hitch to get it out. They do tow great. I may try the equalizer the next time around for these reasons alone. Simple and people swear by them.
