I'll preface my comment with the fact that I do not have the years(or decades) of experience others have on the forum. However, I just got back into RV'ing (after a 30 year hiatus), and I got the Husky Centerline with my TT. Yes, to complete the hookup, you do have to be straight. Having said that, you can hook just to the ball, pull straight and then hook the bars up.. or, as pointed out, disconnect bars and then back in, if you can't keep straight once parked. Yes, kinda inconvenient but definately doeable.
I for one am very happy with my Husky Centerline. On my maiden voyage this past weekend, had absolutely ZERO sway, even with trucks going by. On return trip, I put water in the fresh water tank, just to see how the truck handled. Still, rock solid
The hitch is really quiet too. I don't know how "noisy" others are. But, I could not hear it make any noise with the windows up in my truck. With windows down it creaks a bit, but not a big deal. Like I said, I don't know how noise others are.. this isn't silent, but definitely not bad at all.
It does not have chains to make sure you have on the right link (remembering what link to set it on). Again, probably not a big deal, because I suspect that would not be a hard thing to remember.
Im very pleased overall, but admittedly, I don't have experience with the other hitches to compare to.
