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...

"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."
Honestly if I was worried about my hitch giving way during a hard stop if I lost trailer brakes, which does happen, I'd be looking for a new hitch. The Anderson lightweight obviously has a bit of an issue with that.
"Hopefully BW, Reese, Curt, Hensley, Pullrite and all the others never upgrade their stuff. as that would imply they had failures."
Maybe they just got it right the first time. :) You know the old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." :)
