Hensley Bump = ProPride Bump?
Dear Friends:
- I have made up my mind to buy a ProPride Hitch (new hitch by Jim Hensley). I like to do a lot of research before buying and have found some threads on the Hensley Bump. The most descriptive is on Good Sam Open Roads Forum Good Sam ERS Open Roads Forum: Travel Trailers: Dynamics of the Hensley 'BUMP'?
- The bump can be dangerous to say the least and seems to defy Hensley's claim that the trailer cannot control the TV when equipped with a Hensley hitch. Seems that it most certainly can with disastrous results if on wet roads when turning if brakes are not applied soon enough.
- My question is: Has ProPride solved the Hensley Bump with its new design, or is it something to be aware of?

Be kind to everyone,
Secguru
