I currently have a Curt Q20 using factory Ram pucks. I also have a cabover camper. I'm looking at the Andersen to simplify removing the Curt so I can use the cabover. I talked to a RV parts sales rep about using the Andersen with the 5th Airborne pinbox I have on the Montana 5th wheel. He said it would be best to "pin it" to lock it down. It has an air bag and a shock absorber. He couldn't explain why. Other than contacting Andersen, do any of y'all know why?

Besides being known to cause chucking I really don't see what benefit there would be going from the Curt to the Andersen. Time spent removing the Andersen will be as much or more.

Let's discuss this some more shall we. Maybe I'm not communicating well this morning. Removing the Curt hitch is a major undertaking for me. Set up the engine hoist with a cable to wrap around the Curt. Pry the hitch out of the mounts and slide it across the truck bed about a foot because my hoist isn't quite long enough. Then hoist it out and pull the hoist and hitch to a spot in the garage to set the hitch down. Fold up and store the hoist.
The Andersen with 3 bolts to loosen and only 35# sounds a lot easier to me, but I could be missing something.
