Aluminium 5er hitch?

No I don't work for them, just stumbled across this on YouTube.

Terrible "acting" but an interesting hitch.

Only weighs 30#.

    They do connect to the frame.
  • Seems to be gaining in popularity. discussed quite a bit on the Cummins Forum. The ones that have them, and have had both the conventional, and the Andersen , swear by the Andersen. Whether they really catch on remains to be seen.

  • No thanks! Can't lock RV to hitch. Not as easy to hookup as regular hitch. Needs safety chains.

    Light 5er OK but no way heavy.

    Will stick with B&W RVK3600 that attaches directly to my frame.

    All JMHO!
