Why Experienced RVers Upgrade to ProPride (Even After Years of Towing)

Written by ProPride | Jan 27, 2026 5:00:00 PM

Many seasoned RVers believe they’ve “seen it all” when it comes to towing. They’ve driven cross-country, navigated mountain passes, handled strong winds, and mastered their rigs. Yet, even these experienced drivers often make the switch to a ProPride 3P® Hitch—and the reasons go far beyond mere curiosity.

Upgrading to ProPride isn’t just about towing better—it’s about unlocking a safer, smoother, and more enjoyable RV lifestyle.

1. True Trailer Sway Elimination vs. Traditional Systems

Even skilled drivers with weight distribution hitches or friction-based sway control systems know their limits:

  • Sway can still occur under crosswinds, passing trucks, or sudden maneuvers
  • Friction-based systems wear over time, reducing effectiveness
  • Long hauls and mountain descents expose small weaknesses

ProPride 3P® eliminates sway entirely through Pivot Point Projection, preventing the trailer from pivoting on the hitch ball. Experienced RVers quickly notice the difference: the trailer follows perfectly, every mile.

2. Consistent Handling in All Conditions

Veteran drivers appreciate predictability. ProPride delivers:

  • Stability in gusty winds
  • Smooth turns on mountain roads
  • No surprises during emergency braking

Even after years of towing, many RVers admit that with their previous hitch, they still experienced sway, nerve-wracking movements that ProPride eliminates entirely.

3. Reduced Driver Fatigue on Long Trips

Years of towing build endurance—but fatigue still accumulates when constantly correcting for trailer sway.

ProPride owners report:

  • Less mental and physical strain
  • Relaxed steering on highways
  • The ability to drive longer distances comfortably

Even drivers who thought they were “immune” to sway-induced fatigue often find the difference striking.

4. Protecting Their Rig and Investment

Experienced RVers know the toll sway can take:

  • Stress on trailer frame and hitch components
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Increased risk of accidents

Upgrading to ProPride is a proactive choice. Eliminating sway protects both the tow vehicle and trailer, preserving a significant investment.

5. Enjoying the RV Lifestyle, Not Just Driving

Veteran RVers know that towing shouldn’t be stressful. They want:

  • Calm, controlled drives
  • Safe and enjoyable trips for family and pets
  • Confidence in all road conditions

ProPride owners often report they look forward to towing again—even on trips that would have felt exhausting before.

6. Ease of Installation and Versatility

Even experienced RVers appreciate a hitch that is:

  • Compatible with various tow vehicles and trailer types
  • Easy to install and adjust with the adjustable hitch bar
  • Fully supported by ProPride for custom applications

This means upgrading doesn’t involve hassle—it’s a seamless improvement to a system they already know how to operate.

7. Proven Track Record and Community Support

Long-time RVers pay attention to reliability and reputation:

  • Thousands of ProPride 3P® hitches are in use across North America
  • Owners consistently report satisfaction in reviews and forums
  • Support and guidance are readily available for first-time ProPride users

Even veterans value the assurance that comes from a product built on decades of towing innovation.

Final Takeaway

Even experienced RVers upgrade to ProPride 3P® because it delivers something no other hitch does: complete trailer sway elimination with predictable, safe, and effortless towing.

For drivers who have mastered towing, ProPride isn’t just an upgrade—it’s the ultimate towing experience. Reduced fatigue, safer trips, and a smoother ride make every mile more enjoyable, whether on a quick weekend getaway or a cross-country journey.
