Dwight, if it's the paint, it's not a problem. Those pins do sometimes bend down with time, but it's rare that they cause a problem. We'll replace any defective part under warranty. Let me know what...

When you guys do your own measurements, be sure to take the truck "sag" into account. It's not an exact science, as you can see. I normally take the difference and subtract 2". Of course, that can...

biggie, if you get the emergency kit, it includes a grease zerk as well as every pin in the hitch and shear bolts.

That looks fairly level, but it's hard to tell with a photo. Measure it like the guys say. If it's more than an inch off, you may consider a new hitch bar. Airstream's typically have "B" couplers, so...

Spring bar u-brackets come with the spring bars. I didn't see the hitch bar mentioned. Did you get the right size? Give Jarrod a call at x103 and he can walk through the parts with you. No pressure...

Honey Brown is Rob's brand. He says he bought the Arrow because it holds up his bottle in camp. I prefer Odorcon, it cures everything from smelly tanks to ingrown toenails. Comes in 24oz bottles,...

That works until my wife decides to use my flyrod when she can't find the hitchin' stick. I just shut my eyes and throw it in reverse until I hit steel. By the way, Rob, have you decided on Hershey...

And they're orange! Bob, most of consider those creases in our shins badges of honor. It's also a great way to prevent tailgaters.

I've actually experimented with that on my own trailer, Joe (33' Sunnybrook, tongue weight about 1200lbs.). It didn't seem to make a difference.

On my list of improvements is the shaft collar. It's posed few problems, but I'd much rather see something that doesn't involve a lock screw. I don't care for threads, though. That would create a...

Apparently someone didn't trust the collar. We've never manufatured them that way. If you must pimp your Hensley, please check with the company. :D

You make some good points, Rednax. As it so happens, we're in the process of changing the way we do business with dealers. We've focused on being a direct sales company since inception. As the...

I'm afraid I'll have to admit I didn't know about the weight rating on the chain. I always assumed it was the same as the OEM chain on the trailer. I'll be checking into this. Thanks for bringing it...

I love it! Orange is my preference, of course, but my neighbors complained when I painted my 33' trailer to match my Arrow. Go figure. Now, if you paint the tires Airstream silver, you may need to...

You shouldn't bend a strut bar if your u-bolts are torqued to 45 ft-lbs. I've oversteered twice and broken the sheer bolts, which allows the bracket to slide. That's the built in safety feature.

Don't hesitate to call our tech support at x103 or your salesman. This is a great forum for Hensley owners to share information, but nothing beats going straight to the company.

Congratulations,...
