IMHO "Lock" the handle closed. That is one biggie that can't be done with the Andersen.

for less that $15 USD delivered to your door, that one biggie is no longer a factor.
next complaint?
That's great!
No "Complaints" just pointing out things I see to help people make an informed decision instead of just being in awe of their crush test video.
Bed deflection is another thing to consider with a heavier RV.
I appreciate that. Since I have a lighter pin, I wasn't too concerned about approaching anywhere near max capacity, so while I watched the crush test, I was more like 'duly noted' than 'awestruck' :)
Hadn't considered bed deflection as a factor for me. First, like noted, my pin is pretty light, all things considered. Second, the picture frame base of the Andersen appears to me that the weight should be fairly well distributed across the same area, and more, that conventional rails would contact. Then factor in that the hitch is solidly fastened to the gooseneck ball, which is solidly fastened directly to my frame, it just doesn't add up to something I'm concerned about. Time will tell, but in general, I'm happy with my choice of the Andersen.
