Andersen hitches question

Hi all,
I’m looking for information from those who use Andersen WD hitches to pull a 3,500 tt.
I presently use an E-2 setup, which works fine, however, the weight of it is getting to be a burden, and I want something reliable and lighter..
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

  • Exactly what msb1766 said.

    We used it for 3 years on a Nash 17K, 7,000 lbs. Moved it to our new Nash 26N, 8,800 lbs. Works great on both to take out bounce and sway. It works well for WD also although because I have a 1 ton truck, there was not a lot of evidence of it doing much with the 17K. On the 26N when both gray and black tanks are full there is more tongue weight. The black tank is 100% in front of the TT axles and the gray tank is about 2/3 in front of them. But the setup does just fine with it. I do tighten the chains more with the 26N than I did with the 17K and so far so good. I would think from my experience that the Anderson may not be the best if you had a heavy TT and a small tow vehicle, but that would not be good for other reasons too. I found it easy to set up and use and easy to move from one TT to the other.
  • I have been using one for a long time time, I really like it, easy to hook up and adjust. Set up is straight forward as the instructions are good, Customer service is good.

    It really takes out the bounce and no more noise or grease.

    I bought a new camper and took it off the old camper and put it on the new camper and the new camper came with a WDH. That is how much I like it.

    I use a 3/4" ratchet to adjust the large nuts.
  • I used one with a TT that was about 6-7k. I liked it a lot and would still be using it but we sold the trailer. It can be a pain to get set up initially but is pretty easy to use once it’s done. I would recommend a long handled ratchet to tighten the chains. If the tow vehicle is undersized, it isn’t great for sway control.
