I use this system on my 33 footer that I tow with a suburban. I would not tow a camperwithout it. Its vry easy to engage the system and does a great job of leveling the load on the truck and keeping the camper in line when on the road, even in fairly high winds. Even the initial install of the system isn't too bad. One tip, if your camper tongue is low to the ground cut a couple inches off the tube that you lift the trusses with, it makes it a lot easier! Good luck and happy camping!
I had the first generation back in the 70's, and also have used the newer version with the identical results. Newer version is easier to set up, both worked exceptional. Very good set up.
Been using it for 5 years on a 31' TT. Very good value for the buck. The main thing with it to be very careful and set it up very carefully according to the Reese directions. There is also a lot of info with pictures on RV.net. I have had good luck in 25-30 mph winds but it is wise to slow down. If you don't like it there is always the Hensley or better yet (and cheaper) ProPride hitch. Personally I would go with the Reese if I did it again. Good luck.

I towed a 32 ft Travel Trailer behind a 06 chevy tahoe from VA to KS then VA to NY through 25-35mph crosswinds. My father was behind me in a Class A and could not get over how well the trailer was tracking. He had to slow way down as the wind was pushing him all over the road meanwhile I had no problem in the wind. This Hitch works incredibly well. I have recommended to several friends all of which have purchased and are very happy with results.
