What do you mean by "another negative"? Can't say I've seen any true negatives for the Andersen hitch. And this matter really isn't a negative, since a tripod isn't necessary anyway.
FWIW, I was looking into buying a tripod a while back, but after installing the JT Strong Arms, it was pretty clear that I didn't need one.
What I mean by "another negative"
1. Side to side movement off road.
2. can't lock the kingpin to hitch.
3. Need to use safety chains since it is considered a Gooseneck hitch.
4, On heavier RV's the hitch will deflect the bed with fore and aft movement. Just like the old 18K B&W Companion did with my heavy MobileSuites.
5. Ratings are not realistic. They leave little to no safety factor when advertising their ratings. Kinda like a Craftsman shop vac "develops" 6 HP. Just look at a 20K Companion side by side with the highest rated Andersen that's I think is 24K. I am not an engineer but I have had to build things my whole career that have held up and there is no way the Andersen is a stronger hitch.
All the above is JMHO!
