We purchased our Andersen in February of last year but didn't get it installed till April. At the time we were towing a 2012 Dutchmen Kodiak 242RESL. The hitch worked well with a trailer that was posted as 4800 pounds and 24 feet long. In June we moved up to a 26 foot 7200 pound Timber Ridge (sorry I don't have the actual scale weights) and again it worked flawlessly. We have met convoys of semi trucks on the highway, plowed into huge side winds and we have had no sway. Where we noticed the big difference from our previous hitch was in the bucking action. Those two big urethane cushions sure dampen the bounce. If there was a negative it would be that I was till August until I got it dialed in. Now that I have found the sweet spot, I'm going to have the hitch arms welded into place.
Would I have another Andersen? Oh Yes, in a minute!
