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. :D

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

  • I think the Hensley with the spring bar jacks is a better way to go. You can use them when hitching to change the cant of the hitch in those hard places. I use the same cordless drill and socket on them as on my stabilizers.
  • The Swift Arrow is the old hitch with snap up bars, been towing with the Hensley since 01 would not go back. Mount a Wireless cam on you license plate, it helpsa alot
