Andersen Hitch
Anyone out there have one of these? I could use some feedback on the Ultimate. I especially want to know how things ride inside the rig when you have this hitch...

I received this reply from Anderson.
"Chris,
Thank you for contacting us in regards to our Ultimate Fifth Wheel Connection Hitch. We are having great success with this hitch selling several hundred every month to satisfied customers. We have had about 5 issues where there was some small dimpling in the rear corners on each side where the bed of the truck dimpled almost an 1/8". We are still trying to determine in these circumstances all the issues and the one thing they all had in common were very heavy RVs and the hitch just lined up with the corrugated in the bed of the truck to be barely on the outer most parts of the hitch. If I was worried about the paint scratching or small dimpling of the bed I would have either a bed liner, bed mat or a rubber pad placed under the hitch.
Keep us posted if you need more information.
Thanks.
