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...

John,
As time passes, it will be interesting to see feedback on how the Anderson performs with TT ball couplers welded to the bottom of the A-frame with tongue weights north of 1,200lbs.

Bob,
Yes, your Jayco that uses the bottom-mounted coupler would create a different dynamic. The chains would be pulling at a fairly good angle with the bottom of the tow ball shank some 8" below the frame. The urethane spring frame brackets and the chain plate on the bottom of the ball will need to deal with that high WD force pulling on a 15 deg downward angle from horizontal at the spring bracket and 75 degree upward angle from vertical at the lower chain plate at the bottom of the ball.
The top mounted coupler pulls the chain fairly parallel to the frame. We have not see a bottom mounted coupler setup with this hitch yet.
Good point.
John
