one should expect failure of this product...just like one should expect failure of any man-made device. There will always be the chance that a weld was done improperly or a material defect exists beyond the manufactuer's control. But The overall number of failed UH's is minuscule. I can count only one time where pictures have been posted of this, plus 3 or 4 other written claims. All things considered, that's not even enough to raise an eyebrow at.
This entire forum seems to be a dedicated place for RV owners to come vent or rant about one problem or another with their rig. Blowouts, water damage, delam, reefer issues, water heater issues, etc. etc. etc. The Andersen UH doesn't even rank on the list of common complaints from actual users.
I agree 100%. The B&W Companion, for example, is a highly regarded hitch on these forums and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if it met my needs. But here is a
LINK to a report showing a catastrophic failure of the hitch when the trailer overturned. Would this single example be a reason not to buy the hitch? Not for me - stuff happens.
