The New Hensley Cub hitch for small travel trailers - for trailers between 2000 and 6000 lbs (12 to 26 feet) To Hensley: 
"I have made three trips with my Airstream sport-17. This past Sunday i was returning back to Yuma Arizona from Palms Springs. This is all open desert territory. I drove three hours in 45-50 mile an hour wind gusts that were literally blowing trucks and fifth wheels off the road. After moving through two sand storms I think I put the "Hensley Cub" to the test. I watched the wind blow my trailer to the side but my Toyota FJ Cruiser continued to drive nice and smooth and straight."

The New Hensley® Cub offers the same benefits as the Hensley Arrow® (see video below), but in a lighter package designed for the small trailer owner. The Hensley Cub hitch for small travel trailers
One of Roaming Times' most popular sections is small travel trailers and we think this product is wonderful for our many thousands of small trailer enthusiasts.

  

As Hensley says:

  • Safe Towing: Towing with a Hensley® Towing System is even less stressful than driving without a trailer. With the Hensley® Towing System it is impossible for a trailer to sway. Even the most inexperienced driver will find towing easy, relaxed, and SAFE.

Rod HReally cool. I'm looking to buy a 2010 Keystone 19' and this looks perfect. Winter in Arizona.
Anita BWe have a 2001 Sunnybrook 33FKS travel trailer. We drove 9000 miles towing the trailer. We towed with a Hensley Arrow Hitch. We've had other hitches but this was the best we've had. The trailer moved right with the tow truck.
Clarence BryanHensley testimonial: After speaking with Rick several times I finally ordered the Hensley Arrow on Dec. 30 last year and received it within just a few days. Although I was nervous about spending so much money on a hitch, Rick was very patient in answering all of my questions. I figured I had nothing to lose as I had to do something to control my trailer sway. I have a 31ft Dutchman trailer with a slide that I pull with an Excursion. Even with the beast pulling it, at times it seemed the trailer was in control. It was a white knuckle experience driving on the highway. I was on the verge of selling my travel trailer as I didn't want to go very far from home because it was so stressful. When I saw the video you sent I was pretty convinced from the testimonials but I still thought it would only make a slight, probably barely perceptible, difference. Boy was I wrong. My first trip was 600 miles down the I-95 corridor from Baltimore to Myrtle Beach. I made this trip last year with this same trailer and was blown all over the highway by the trucks. It took much longer than it should as I averaged 50mph due to the stress. This year the difference was amazing. I cruised at 70-80mph in total control. Trucks passing me had absolutely NO EFFECT on the trailer. In fact, other than the weight of the trailer I would not have even known it was back there. Heck, I was passing trucks at will. I can tell you I never would have even considered that with the old sway control hitch. You may not believe this but when we stopped for gas or meals I actually looked forward to getting on the road again. I truly enjoy pulling the trailer now. I just returned from another trip, only 200 miles this time, and was once again reminded of the excellent value I receive from this hitch. Now I can cruise along at, or above, the speed limit in any lane I choose with no stress or concern whatsoever. The trip was very enjoyable for my wife and kids (I have 5 kids) as I wasn't telling them to keep quiet or getting upset because of my stress. The other thing about this hitch is the enhanced stability I feel. My trailer is very tall and used to move a lot when driving on narrow roads with soft shoulders and a lot of sideways dips. With the solid bar between the Excursion and trailer I do not feel the trailer move at all even on poorly made roads. I have told everyone I know and meet about this hitch because it is the only product I have ever purchased that did exactly what was advertised and far exceeded my expectation. I am now one of your best salesmen.
Gary McCoury - a true believerPlease do not be afraid to try this hitch. I wish there was some way I could make you understand, THIS THING WORKS! No more transfer truck blues. No more wiggle! You will not be disapointed!
