It would be great if they could make a replacement pin box with their system built-in, get it "type-accepted" by the manufacturers, and have it offered as a factory option. I once heard they were working on that.
Sounds like a good idea however if you were stuck somewhere and needed to have your trailer towed your kind of out of luck. Unless someone else happens to have an Andersen.
Why? Just remove the king pin coupler block. Then any truck with a 5th hitch can tow it.
He's responding to the idea of eliminating the coupler block and just having a pinbox on the fifth wheel that is itself compatible with dropping onto the Andersen gooseneck ball.
There is something like that available already, a rotating pin box with a king pin on one side and a ball socket on the other side.
