Andersen Aluminum Ultimate Hitch Redesigned

I remember back in the early 70's my dad got his first 5th wheel. They were fairly new back then. His hitch, a Holland I believe, was a 4' wide piece of heavy channel iron with the 5th wheel welded to it. It articulated between two brackets bolted to the fender wells with 7/16" bolts. My brother and I put some brace plates in to tie it to the truck frame. His second 5'er used a reverse 5th wheel hitch. They bolted a huge 5/15" thick plate to the floor of the truck (and into the frame) and it had a turn over pin like what you see on the pin box in the center. This seemed much better. Both hitches really lacked much articulation if he was on uneven ground. Many times depending on what company you got your trailer from depended on what hitch you would use. His second hitch, the reverse 5th wheel hitch, came with the Holiday rambler. Lift trailer, back truck up till trailer hitch almost hits the aux fuel tank, lower trailer, drive forward to hitch up. that design didn't work out I guess! But he towed that Rambler all across the country and through a lot of Canada. F250 with a 360 gas and C6 trans. He just about ran over my mom's foot many a time as she was looking over the side of the bed so he wouldn't hit the aux fuel tank. LOL
