Are you saying that the Andersen does *not* put an adapter on your king pin?
Yes, it most certainly does.
It adapts your king pin to a ball socket.
Andersen provides a $5mm direct warranty to users of their product, should their factory warranty claim be denied.
So, since Lippert is very clear that they would deny a frame damage claim if the Andersen Ultimate was being used, you'd need to cross your fingers and go after Andersen to pay for it.

Yes, they do put an "adapter" on my kingpin and I'm quite sure you know that as well. Seems to me like you're being a bit disingenuous and perhaps trolling (Like that would EVER happen here on any hitch discussion!). The traditional "gooseneck adapter" has always been understood (at least in my own mind, and those I've discussed it with), a long, single leg extension between kingpin and gooseneck ball, which amplifies torque forces on the traditional 5th wheel pin box and frame. The Andersen does not do that, simply by raising the ball up to the level of the pin box (minus the approximate 3" thickness of the ball to kingpin adapter block).
What I won't argue with is the details you received from Lippert where they state upfront they will deny any warranty claims if you use ANY kind of adapter. So, caveat emptor. My warranty was expired before I switched to Andersen, so not a factor for my decision.
