I'm a little late to the party here but I have a question. First, I own a B&W Companion and I am very pleased with the performance of this hitch. That said, I am very intrigued by the Anderson hitch. The question I have is this, In all the videos I have seen on the Anderson hitch I have yet to see either safety chains or break away cable. Being a ball and coupler type of hitch isn't it required to have those items?

Yes Andersen has a safety chain kit option available. It is not a 5th wheel hitch, it is a raised gooseneck hitch and most states would require chains just like a gooseneck hitch. Andersen danced around this a lot in the beginning. Heavy trailers sooner or later will dent the bed floor with this hitch, as the sheet metal bed carries the weight, which it is not really design to do. Chris
Well my Companion carries the weight on the bed of my 07 Ford and in 3 years of pulling an 11,900 GVWR rated fiver there is no apparent damage to the sheet metal floor of the bed.
