LOL I think Andersen must be an oil or tire company as it gets plenty of attention.
What I have learned reading these 12 pages of stuff.
No reason the Andersen latch can't be locked, you just need to build or buy a lockable box for it. I'd say worrying about a zombie apocalypse is much higher on my list than me driving off with my hitch not latched, the awning still down, the poo pipe still attached, a wheel missing, the wife still in the rig.
If folks think the hitch is going to fold up on them when they hit the brakes they may consider putting brakes on the trailer. Those trailer brakes really take a lot of that pushing load off the hitch/truck. I don't have a 5th wheel, but my tow behind 31' Keystone has brakes on all 4 wheels. Really helps from my truck hitch getting torn off in a panic stop.
Hopefully BW, Reese, Curt, Hensley, Pullrite and all the others never upgrade their stuff. as that would imply they had failures.
Most important is we should never accept something which is adrift from the norm. We should never listen to satisfied customers using products they really like if said product is adrift from the norm.
