I was gonna start a new post but found this one searching for answers. If I don’t get what I’m looking for I’ll post up a new question. Since we’re talking about hitches, I’m interested in anyone’s experience with both the B&W companion, and the Andersen Ultimate fifth wheel hitch.
I’ve only used the B&W. I love everything about it except the weight. It a PITA to get in and out and storage isn’t all that easy. My buddy just moved up to a 5er and he got the Andersen. 40# vs 200# on mine. At 40# my wife could remove it and I could hand it from a hook on the wall.
So pros and cons from those who have had both is what I’m asking for.
Thanks in advance.

IMO you answered your own question, if its weight of a hitch ,the Andersen is the answer.
I switched from a heavy sliding hitch to the steel rail mount Andersen , will never go back to a conventional hitch .
Weight really isn’t an issue with my truck. But if I could get the same performance with a lighter setup it’s all bonus. Will the Andersen pull as good as the a B&W is the question I have.
