There are two similar systems, the Hensley and the ProPride, I have had the Hensley for a long time, the great thing is there is no sway to control, bother great investments can be moved when you switch trailers.

Had Propride for a year before trading to a 5er. Never a lick of sway worth every penny and phenomenal customer service.

I've had the Hensley for a couple of years now. Both Hensley and the Propride are the safest hitches on the market today. Worth every penny !! Wouldn't go back to the old hitch.

I have been running the Propride 3p hitch for 2 years now. I bought it second hand off this website from a guy. While installing i had some questions and I emailed pro pride, explained my situation and Sean, the owner, replied back if great detail as to what i needed to do not caring that i had bought it second hand.
I pull a 37' bumper pull. This thing wasn't much fun in cross winds or with a tractor trailer passing me. Once installing the hitch the trailer manners greatly increased... I have also attached a couple of pictures to show you that I personally can go full lock left or right and still clear the bumpers. I am able to go past 90* in a turn... Impressive...
Backing into it was a pain for the first few times and now that i have gotten the hang of it, it is actually easier than the old ball and socket in my opinion...

I fancy myself pretty handy, it took me with the help of my brother in law roughly an hour or a bit more, but i also had to modify a steel plate i added to the tongue of my trailer for weight. not difficult by any means...

We had it and loved it until we got our 5er. Just sold my propride on Craigslist.
Backing in to it can be tricky. Just make sure the sway arms are completely loose or it is hard.
Best of luck!

I have had my Pro Pride for 5 years, first on my 24 ft car hauler and I moved it to the 30' Puma. The thing is awesome, controls sway and great customer service. I have never had trouble backing it up. Follow the set up instructions and hitching instructions and it will work properly
I have repacked the bearings in the head once but the biggest problem is when I take the camper to the dealer they can't move it around their lot with the tractor. I guess this is a good security thing because if you don't have the stinger you are out of luck.
