Pro Pride hitch for sale

Comes with both 2” and 2 1/2” receivers, all in excellent condition but dirty due to use from Reno to Texas. This hitch was flawless when used on our 30FC, I am tired of dealing with the towers blocking the compartment door on our 27FB leaving Dallas tomorrow via I20 to I-10, spending time in Casa Grande then Phoenix. Happy to coordinate pickup along the way.
$2000

Consider checking out the strap tensioner on the ProPride website. No interference...

I tried a set, hook up wasn’t as easy.
I just drove I20 from Dallas to Midland using a Blue Ox. Pro Pride is noticeably better...

Bummer. I flat won't tow anything without a ProPride...

So I'll make a note to avoid front storage compartments...

Not tying to change your mind on the sale....

Just sharing my experience. 27FB - I get the point about the towers being a nuisance with the front storage. My storage door opens 95% of the way and while it’s a mild pain working around the towers when pulling out hoses, power cords, etc, that’s 10 minutes of my camping time. If I’ve just spent 7-8 hours driving 300 miles to a camping destination with sway-free towing - that 10 minutes is a small price to pay.

Your mileage varies and that’s cool - just sharing one perspective since you mentioned feeling the difference with another hitch...

Bummer. I think Propride would do well to figure out another approach to the towers besides the strap if that’s a problem.

I had a Blue Ox and you are absolutely correct. Changed to PP. Much easier with the Propride.

So out of curiosity, how is it harder to hookup?
