I have had a lot of opportunity to watch the hitch while backing, because my wife always backs the trailer while I provide guidance and obstacle avoidance. I am 100% convinced, if this phenomenon exists on the ProPride, its effect can be measure in a few inches at most.

Yeah... For everyday use this is a nonissue. If you are working with very close tolerances.... That may be critical. Then Again I have a 34'

Don't use the vice grips UNLESS you are using the ball head extension like the factory uses on their tugs. If you clamp it down that way with the the stinger hooked to your truck like normal towing likely you will need your check book handy. Just sayin' ....

I don't know where the pic went in Brian's #44 post in this thread - but it showed a tractor with a particular contraption on it for ProPrides - which is different than the one they use for Hensleys- and they have one for PPs with a 2.5" hitch (Sean overnighted it to them when we were in for service and they needed it...).

I don't know exactly how they set it up but your point is well taken. If any questions, call Sean for sure!

Idon't know what happened to that picture, either. I will repost all of the applicable photos.
