Hensley Hitch

[malrick]

Does anyone know if there is a RV center, garage etc. in the Charlotte NC area, that is familiar with a Hensley hitch? I want to confirm my hitch installation is correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would call Hensley. Their phone support is excellent and they will ask for pictures and measurements. They will take good care of you 7x24.

We call and they answered all our questions!!

I had one on my last trailer. Great hitch. However if you have to take in for any repair or warranty work you will have to remove as most dealers have a forklift or tractor to move trailers around. Already been there. But it’s a great hitch.

I imagine it's the same as with the ProPride we've had since 2009. I read the manual several times and called the company with questions before installing it myself. It's a good idea to get to know your sway elimination hitch well.

I leave my stinger that goes into my truck receiver when I leave my rig at service center, way easier than removing hitch.

If they use a vehicle with a receiver and are willing to use your stinger, that would work. But as Rdeejr mentions, a lot of RV service departments move trailers around with a forklift or tractor and those often have a hitch ball attached to them so leaving the stinger won't work.

In my case, I've not much trailer service since I installed the hitch but on occasions when I have I was able to park it outside and they did the work there.

Depends on the service center. Some of them will only move trailers around with a hi-lo (with a ball on the fork). Much easier for a good hi-low driver, as they can see directly what they are doing, and MUCH more maneuverable in a tight parking lot.


Again, probably depends on the service center's policy.

Everywhere I have left our Riggs they have figured out a way to move without removing hitch, someone always has a pickup truck with a receiver.
