Anderson no sway hitch
For those of you who use this hitch how many threads are showing behind the nut when you are set to tow? Thanks in advance.

I drop the coach on the ball and then tighten to just around 5 threads showing. then drop it all the way. It seems to perform best with that number showing, but honestly with air suspension on our eco diesel I have not even used the chains and it tows great around town or on country roads. Highway and semis need the anti sway effect and and it does a great job.
Couple of things, make sure your are identical and I mean identical on both clamps/chain mount distances from ball. Mine never slipped as I installed them. I tow from the west to south and western regions and often get caught in bad weather. Salt and mag chloride get caught in the triangle/shaft and man it can squeal like scared pig. WD 40 spayed carefully on that region works but be careful not to get near the ball, as that is your anti sway.
I love the hitch, simple and works great for our set up. Excellent value. I can see however for a real heavy coach and moderate tow vehicle a pro pride or the like would be best. I used the dual cam on our airstream and it was complicated. This is elegant simple engineering. I would buy another in heartbeat.
