Later I will give a report on how this hitch does, as I have one on order to use with the 17' Casita that I use going to RC funflys.

Thanks for posting that. I'll be interested to hear how you like it. If we ever switch to a smaller tow vehicle, I'll be looking for lightweight WD.

My ONE question to all the people on line who have or have used a Henseley Arrow is this.
Have you ever flipped or wrecked your airstream with a Henseley properly installed????? If so reply to this forum.Anyone???? I'm honestly very interested to hearing your responses.Also any stories about how your Henseley saved your rig. Thanks MI Silver

In reading all these posts, unless I missed it I haven't seen a single person speak about the Draw-Tite WD hitch. When I bought my 2001 S-10 Blazer, the dealership threw in a Class IV hitch and the Draw-Tite stinger and bars, which are rated at 750lbs. I've since sold the Blazer, but I kept the Draw-Tite. Last year, when I sold our 3500 Ram, I left the Reese setup with it. I pulled out the Draw-Tite and put it on our F350 King Ranch, and I think it does a great job with our Sovereign. Then again, I can tow without the WD bars and there's not much of a difference...that King Ranch is a tank, and with a 1400lb hauler bed, it's not going anywhere.
