I agree with all the comments here on the Holland head, I too have no problem locking or unlocking. Yes you do have to keep track of the extra bar and hook, and thought at first what's this?? But after using for a while, no sweat. I also had no problems with the Reese except it wasn't up to the task for the heavy trailer, wore out the jaws and all the linkage parts that make the jaws work and stay closed. I have replaced all the parts to re-sell the hitch in good condition.

4 way articulating head is the only way to go, been stuck before with an old style RBW for and aft only.

Mike, if you decide to go with any of the Air ride hitches, (they are a real good choice) you may want to do away with the Trail Air pin box and go to the standard solid pin box. With both, you will have two air systems working against each other. If you speak with Dale at Trail Air, I believe he will back that up.

If I didn't already have the Trail Air pin box, I would have went with the Trailersaver Air Ride hitch.

Cheers,
Bill
