Andersen Aluminum Ultimate Hitch Redesigned
I follow Andersen hitches on Facebook and they have announced a redesign of their Aluminum Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch...here are some screen shots of the Facebook post. Thanks! Jere...
Forum Discussion
I read the thread in the Cummins forum and the first thing that jumped out were there were no "told you so" comments, and right after is that folks who have the aluminum hitch and expressed concern were sent a new hitch.
I have the rail mount steel hitch and remain unconcerned. What does concern me is that someone asked about the Andersen Ultimate in the RV Clinic part of the new Trailer Life. The response was uninformed and misleading. They were told that the Andersen would require a gooseneck style agricultural or commercial ball mount that is an aftermarket item for the dealer to install. Then they said that the ride would be no different than a traditional fifth wheel hitch, and finally inquirer was told he might want to rethink not using grease.
It is apparent the author never even looked at the videos, and doesn't understand the movements made by a fifth wheel hitch.
