Andersen Ultimate not working for me
I went from a Reese 16K slider to the Andersen ultimate. My trailer was very stable with the Reese, with the Andersen the trailer is constantly moveing around. It is bad enough that can feel it and it...

Surface area!
Anderson is a ball with a ball adapter for 5vr pin so very little surface area and 5vr articulates on the ball
5th wheel hitch has a wide plate on head, 5vr pin box has a wide plate on it and any articulation is with the whole hitch
This may be the difference, with a ball mount the trailer is completely unconstrained to roll independent of the truck. If your Reese hitch does not have side pivot, then the fiver is constrained until forces exceed the pin weight and lift one side of the pin box off the hitch head. If you do have a side pivot hitch, then seems like there should be very little difference.
