Would not catch me using one with a RV weighing over 12K.
Ya know you bragging about being on the road already is making me angry!
Ahhh, another opportunity to slam Andersen hitches. Must be your lucky day. FYI, the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection hitch has a 24,000 lb GTWR and a 4500 lb tongue weight rating; the Anderson Rail Mount comes in at 20,000 lbs GTWR and 4500 tongue weight. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but the way it is expressed is alienating.
Yes it is my opinion. If you truly believe it has those ratings then what would you guess this hitch to be?
You believe Craftsman's claims that their shop vac "Develops" 6 HP?
It rates at 25K and 6,250 Pin.
At those rated weights YOU WILL have bed deflection and denting with the Andersen at 24K,4500. Anyone saying they don't have deflection mount a camera in their bed then tell me.
I did with the 18K Companion AND I WAS MAXING IT OUT.
