...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. Other than contacting Andersen, do any of y'all know why?
I suggest you call Andersen and ask for Jason. When I changed my std. LCI 1621 pinbox for a morRyde rubber pinbox (Forest River made the change for Free) I was concerned that the rubber cushion plate wouldn't work well with the Andersen Ultimate. In fact morRyde sells an adapter for that pinbox If you are using a cushioned-style 5er hitch (the Ultimate itself is solid, not cushioned).
I spoke with Jason and it turns out that the Ultimate/morRyde combo is their most popular setup. That's what I run now and it's been great. As far as Airborne, he can tell you what if any setup changes would work best for you. Andersen customer service is excellent and responsive.
