Don't forget if you buy used from anyone else there is no warranty on it.

Thanks. I have been talking to Terry at Hensley. They will also sell a warranty for $585 if I buy a used hitch. I have seen used Hensleys for as little as $600. At that price they are a good deal. At $1000, not so much.

Any way I look at it the Hensley is less expensive. I have to decide if the premium for the Propride is worth it.

I'm leaning toward the Propride mostly for reasons I've found on here: I won't have to modify my propane tank holder, the Propride looks cleaner without the struts, the adjustable shank, and the better fit of the stinger into the hitch head, among others. It may come down to price, though, as I don't see many used Proprides.

There is a ProPride for sale on the forest river forums.

Thanks for the tip! PM'd him. He's in Canada so IDK what kind of problems that might cause. Payment, customs clearance, etc.

Shouldn't be an issue. You're allowed a certain amount duty free if you're visiting. If you're shipping it you may have to pay something but since it was made in the USA most likely not. Don't forget right now you have around 30 cents on every dollar so it's around 30% less unless the seller wants it US dollar's which in that case makes no difference.

In work, no issues. Payment by Paypal in USD, no duty since the country of origin (where it was made, not where it is shipped from) is USA.

Thanks again to Overloaded!
