What makes the Anderson hitch better than a traditional 5th wheel hitch? The site doesn't really seem to describe the advantage other than the lower weight and easy installation. Does towing performance improve?
apparently many 5th wheel hitches have some play when latched around the trailer kingpin (I don't think I have very much at all on my B&W hitch). the Anderson connection is more like gooseneck, ball in socket, with very little play front/back/side/side.
the lack of play seems to improve the overall feel. no jerking/bucking.
I haven't towed with one, but keep looking.
