How many and what kind of failures are they reporting?
For those who do not follow the big Andersen Hitch thread on airforums.com --
the latest word from Andersen regarding coupler failures can be found in this post - #1752.

To save some the trouble of checking out the link, here is the most pertinent part:
"...Response:
Great question Kurt. Only the Atwood 88xxx series couplers are incompatible with our Weight Distribution Hitch. ALL OTHER Atwood couplers are fine (80xxx, 81xxx, 82xxx, etc). We are still doing testing, but our initial findings are that the best solution for the 88xxx series is to change out the coupler. Luckily it is not a common coupler, but is popular on Airstream trailers."
Thanks. I have neither an Airstream or 88xxx coupler, so I should be good to go. Still don't see but one documented failure.
