I feel like the Andersen UH opinions can be summed up as follows:
A. Those who have it and use it, love it
B. Those who don't have it fit into 2 categories: 1)hate it and everything it stands for and want to make sure you hate it too even though they've never used one -AND- 2)don't have an opinion
C. Those who have used it but switched believe that their reason for switching is universal to all users and its basically a disaster waiting to happen
I travel 40K miles a year, mostly interstate driving in FL where seemingly everyone has a towable camper of some sort. I come across MAYBE 1 accident every 3 months or so involving a camper. In those rare circumstances, I can't even begin to speculate what happened in terms of the hitch. Even if it looks like it came decoupled, outside of physically studying the evidence and knowing all the details leading up to the incident, how does anyone really know what happened? And the only time I've ever seen the UH adapter damage a pinbox was from a picture on this forum, whereby there was never any determination as to whether the pinbox itself was faulty (as Andersen reportedly claimed).
Andersen recently commented on their Facebook page that they have sold over 40,000 UH units (presumably this includes all models). This does not sound like a product riddled with issues as some would suggest. Nor should we believe that the only users are those with 3/4 ton trucks pulling light campers.
