We just returned from 2100 mile trip with the Andersen hitch. I’ll have my old Husky 1000 lb wd hitch listed for sale tomorrow. We drove the F150 w/ max tow and 29’ Cougar TT from Houston to Orlando and back for spring break. We drove through pretty bad rain storms with cross winds gusting 15-25 mph for many hours. This TV and TT combo was superb! The handling was consistent and predictable even in poor weather. I wasn’t satisfied with my old hitch and friction bars. I can’t say that the Andersen is the best hitch available, but I’m convinced it’s the best one for me.
Pluses: no sway, no bouncing, easy hitching & unhitching, easy wd adjustments, tighter turning radius, silent operation, sleek looking design.
Negatives: I have to loosen the chain nuts a turn each to unhitch due to the high amount of wd I require, this takes minute or so to accomplish.
