Another (slight) con on the Andersen over the standard 5th wheel, you have to raise your trailer higher to hitch and unhitch on the Andersen.
This one is hardly worth a mention, at least in my case. My property is on a bit of a slope and where I camp is rarely completely level, so the jacks are going to get a workout regardless. An extra couple of inches to lift/drop on the ball is no biggie relative to all the other jacking, imo.
I can't tell anybody enough how much I like the way the Andersen works. It's simple, solid and totally smooth towing. I'd use one even if it wasn't so much easier to take in and out of the truck compared to a standard hitch. It simply works better.
