FWIW, I used an inexpensive ($100 on sale and sold the included engine stand for $50) engine hoist to lift my Companion out of the bed of my truck and set it on a $10 Harbor Freight furniture dolly. Others have used a manual block and tackle from a rafter to a nice electric winch and set it down on a dolly or roll-around table. The AUH wasn't around when I got my Companion so it wasn't a consideration. Since I needed the GN hitch as well, it was a natural, for me, to get the whole enchilada. Now that I've got a gym-rat of a son-in-law, it's even easier to take my Companion out. Costs me a half a six-pack; I get the other half for "supervising". :B

I don't think there is a lot of mystery getting a hitch out of truck at home, I installed a Harbor freight electric hoist to remove mine . If that is the only time I needed to install or remove a heavy hitch then its a non issue, but I need a empty bed when traveling ,and fishing. The Andersen fits the bill, and a very nice hitch to tow with.
Its unfortunate that we have the naysayers here , that seem to try ,and persuade against the Andersen, although never owning one.
