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...

'Just wondering if I'm missing something here. Provided your hitch is already set up for your situation, and you know how many threads on the bolts should show, why not do this instead: After coupling, raise the tongue to allow easy and fast attachment of the WD chains. This method does not require the use of any long-handled ratchet, and the adjustments are already made.
I used to do the same with my old equalizer hitch on my older TT. Instead of using the snap tool to bring the torsion bars into the L brackets, I would raise the tongue a bit and just slide them in.
The Andersen Hitch has been on my trailer for about a year now and I love it.
I agree that this would be the ideal way to get the hitch to work, but in my case it didn't matter how high I raised the tongue, it did not un-tension the chains enough to leave the bolts/nuts alone. Maybe there was too much tongue weight for the Anderson hitch, I don't know. Since my dealer was willing to trade me into the Equalizer 4-point for $100, I did that. Through 1 camping trip (2 hours each way), I think the trailer feels more secure and balanced with the Equalizer.
