Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection -- Wreck ????

Let me explain this clearly: you said

"...they have sold over 40,000 UH units (presumably this includes all models). This does not sound like a product riddled with issues...".

I mentioned Yugos to show that people will buy anything, and continue to buy it even though it is a horrible product, cheap or not. My point, I hate to have to explain it, is that numbers of sold units are not an indication of quality.

And so I bid all "Adieu".
