New Andersen WD hitch
A fellow camper bud showed me this. It's new and different. Anyone using one? Andersen WD hitches A U-tube video with the factory guy explaining it. You have to get past MR Truck doing his...

Hi All,
I would like to ask you all to please be kind and not get my thread locked by the moderator.
State your opinion and it can disagree as needed, just leave the negative words out of it that will get the thread locked.
I would like to still be able to reply on any findings I can get from my ball coupler manufacture on their thoughts of towing a TT with a WD hitch that applies large amounts of pressure to the latch under forward towing.
I will also attempt to explain in more detail where we believe these higher forces are originating from with the Anderson unit and how they are larger then the TW pressing down on the ball coupler. These higher WD forces in the chains can cause the TT ball coupler to rise up and stop rising only by when all the vertical clearance inside the coupler is reached.
Anyone else is also welcome to help show this too. (Ron, hint hint :))
This all originates with what some feel are large forces in the WD chains created by the Urethane springs during WD. If the chain forces are high enough they will overcome the down force of the TW and the coupler will cam itself up. These forces where attempted to be explained on this page and on this page.
If folks believe there are not high forces in the WD chains, please help us understand your point and why as we may have missed something.
Thanks
John
