Anytime you use a gooseneck ball or a modified gooseneck ball like the Anderson Hitch there are few other issues that would stop me.
1. Spot on alignment required when hitching up.
2. Raising the trailer up 4 or 5 additional inches when disconnecting or hitch up. Lot of extra work on the landing gear and waiting to the trailer to go up and down slowly.
3. Requirement for safety chains because of the ball and coupler. Gooseneck hitches require safety chains. Anderson is very vague on this issue and now offers a safety chain kit option.
