On www.myrvtalk.com there is a heading called Hitches and Sean Woodruff, one of the founders of the new company, is the webmaster. There is an ongoing discussion of the subject and direct access to Sean who was a former senior member of Hensley/Arrow and is now one of the partners in the new company. Can't get better than that.
Good luck, safe towing and happy camping!

BUY NOW for safe, sway-free towing this spring! SAVE $500 off the retail price until 2008


it seems to be 1995.00 + 500.00 + shipping starting 2008 if I'm reading it correctly.

Looks pretty similar to the Arrow. I guess the patent ran out!

Yes, the patent on the HA is expired. Jim Hensley is trying to correct some of the shortcomings or annoyances in the HA...the new one has an adjustable height hitch head to eliminate drawbar swapping, better strut design, etc.

Here is a photo from the eBay listing:

If you want to look at a picture of the new Hitch there is one for sale on e-bay
