Purchased the Blue Ox Patriot system in August 2010 and just completed a 4300+ mile trip. No problems with use or setup. Setup can be done the first time, every time, but does require a board against the driver's seat to provide a firm foundation for the unit to push against. You do have to move the seat as far forward as possible as indicated in the instructions to prevent having to do the setup again. My only complaint is the intermittent loss of breakaway connection signal. Based on the fact that it only occurred in areas of significant truck traffic, it seems possible that CB radio interference may have been the cause - just a guess, but it was consistently the case when the signal was lost/regained. Compared to the cost of other units and the fact that it's extremely portable, I have no complaints - at least so far. Rolly Scheels Atlanta, MI 2006 Winnebago 38J 2005 Honda Element toad
