I have had a Buchtec for 4 years now and it is great. Can not feel the trailer at all no noise like a ball. However, it is not the cheapest one out there. Hitch doc. is what most have purchased.

Might want to try trailer section of the forum for more answers.

I was on a recent camping trip and there was a couple who came in and tent camped at the campground. He was pulling a new Bushtec trailer with a Bushtec hitch. I was very impressed with the quality of the entire rig.

Bushtec here, more expensive than mchitch, but nearly invisible with stinger removed. Also no rattle when pulling...great product.
