Imagine the bed of the truck is not there for a minute. With the RV hooked up what does the hitch do???? It would move forward when braking and backward when accelerating. and both directions when hitting a bridge. The FACT is the BED of the truck is supporting the weight that is applied to the Andersen hitch!
Dunno know about that. My Turnover Ball base is bolted solidly to the frame, which holds my Companion, and would hold an Andersen if I had one. The bed =stabilizes= the load.

The bed supports the load. Think about it. When the Companion (or Andersen) is installed it's pulling upwards on the gooseneck assembly. The ball isn't supporting the hitch, it's holding it down.
