New 5th wheel doesn't tow well
I just bought a brand new Jayco Eagle HT 30.5 MBOK. Unloaded weight is 9635 lbs, max loaded is 11950 lbs. Dry hitch weight is 1795. Optional 16" wheels with Goodyear tires. My TV is a stock 2013 GMC ...

With the thought that the Andersen is more like a typical 5'er hitch.
Is it also more susceptible to chucking because nothing pivots or moves?
If chucking is the issue wouldn't a air ride pin or an air hitch like the BD3 be the best solution.
I imagine you need a way to absorb the chucking motion.
I used to have a B&W Patriot but have switched to the Andersen. Mines rail,mounted. There's absolutely no difference in the way it tows my 5er compared to the B&W. Only difference is it's about 100lbs + lighter. I'm also using the same MoRyde pin box thatI used with the B&W. I still have the same "once in a while chucking" with both.
