Anderson Ultimate??
Just got to see, for the first time, one of those Anderson ultimate hitches. That seems to be a pretty handy, dandy device. Any opinions on it?

I agree with fj12ryder.
Just for fun read the thread in this Towing section "Curt Q24 or B&W Companion 20" then compare to the Andersen.
Go to Andersen's web site and watch their "crush test". Then look at how the hitches actually fold under hard braking. The "test" does not address the huge strain that's placed on the hitch with the fore and aft forces from the RV.
Also this is a fact if towing a heavier RV with an Ultimate you can have bed deflection because the base sets on top of the beds corrugation allowing compression.
If light is what's more important rather than being a solid hitch the Andersen will meet that requirement.
