Our 1999 30' Classic came with a Blue Ox. We towed it home from Atlanta to Houston with our Navigator (our first-ever trailer experience). We knew we were pushing the limits on the Navigator, but wow... was the tail wagging the dog! So, we got a Ford F-250 turbodiesel (this was always part of the plan, not just because the Navigator swayed). Nice improvement, but still a lot of sway. Also, I couldn't get the results I thought I should in terms of distributing the weight - meaning, the back of the truck dropped and the front came up, indicating we weren't getting enough DISTRIBUTION.
I talked to Blue Ox and sent them a picture. Their response - the hitch was defective and had bent in the middle!! Wow. They sent us a new one free of charge, but we still weren't that impressed. My copilot still wouldn't drive the rig - too much sway. And I have to say our confidence just wasn't there anymore.
So, we bought a remanufactured Hensley. Now she drives all the time. 'nuff said!
