X2 to IdaD's statement above, while I am not a fan of the Andersen, it doesn't add any extra stress to the frame as the adapter is right at the pin. If someone got frame damage, it was due to a bad frame to begin with.
I am curious, you state you are not a fan of the Andersen. Have you owned ,and towed with one, and decided it was not the hitch for you ?
Being a non owner of the Andersen, I have read all the supposed negatives, everything from you have to lift the fifth wheel higher and it will wear out the landing gear, to its overrated on capacity, but overall what is there that really distracts from the Andersen to not purchase one.
IMO being lightweight , and strong , easy to remove, pretty much outweighs any negatives. I could give a list of negatives on my conventional sliding hitch, but bottom line it hooks up my fifth wheel, and pulls it down the road without issue. I'm thinking the Andersen does the same.
