I wanted to get a few miles on the Hensley Arrow before I bragged about what a great product I bought…I come from a lifetime of camping from a tent to a pop up to a 22 foot travel trailer (all of these when I was a wee child) Then I got married and had a few of my own..(now a 12 and 13 year old… ) I owned a Coleman pop up for a year or two, and upgraded to a 30 foot Wilderness travel trailer..(actually my gracious in-laws let me use it for a summer or two, I pulled them all with my 2000 Ford excursion diesel ..The pop up was a piece of cake, the 30 foot wilderness was a little challenging at times with a Reese weight distributing hitch, But two years ago I bought a 2008 Dutchmen Freedom Spirit 39.6 foot travel trailer with a strait line trunion hitch with a friction sway control….Every trip (20 + thousand miles) I swear I aged 10 years… Trailer Sway was just a way of life with this rig….Every Semi that passed was a scary undertaking….But last September I bought the Hensley arrow, But living in Chicago Area..The Season was almost over…So this spring I took it to Key West FL..1685 miles each way…NO TRAILER SWAY….Only problem was a blow out on the trailer..(No Sway) and my bike rack snapped off the trailer..(cheap Rack’s weld snapped) ..But NO TRAILER SWAY the whole trip…So in June I took it to Glacier National Park…..Guess what??? NO TRAILER SWAY…Some times hook ups could be a little challenging….But you get used to it.. Most attempts I needed…TWO…that was because my back up camera had some June Snow over the lens….But this product should be a standard on all trailers over 20 feet….My son (12 years old) likes to tell the other campers about the Hensley Arrow when they ask…He just says the trailer DON’T SWAY ANYMORE..and dad don’t curse as much every time a truck passes..Please feel free to let anyone call me if they need some info on this product..Also find attached some great photos of my rig..(2000 Ford Excursion with 7.3 Power stroke Diesel..Airbags Suspension…Super chips power tuner…and a Dutchmen 39.6 foot Travel Trailer @ approx 12,000 pounds)

Thank you for saving a few more gray hairs..,
