Getting Rid of my Dual Cam system
I really like this system but it's such a darn pain. It's so complex no one, anywhere, has any idea how to adjust it or install it. I just had it transferred to a new trailer and new bars also were...

I have seen others comment about the pressure the Andersen puts on the coupler latch...it looks to me as though it provides the same sort of rotational force to the ball to move weight to the front of the TV...in other words virtually the same in that force as the Reese or Equalizer....what am I missing? thanks.
They apply a significant vertical force to the A-frame and that vertical force is what generates the load distribution.
WD torque is generated by the upward force acting on the rear end of the WD bars multiplied by the length of the bar.
Generation of WD produces no significant longitudinal force against the ball.
The Andersen WDH, via compression of the polyurethane "springs", exerts a significant longtudinal (forward) force against the trailer's A-frame.
This forward force causes the ball coupler to push forward against the ball.
WD torque is generated by the chains pulling rearward at the bottom of the ball mount and the coupler pushing forward against the ball.
