Andersen Ultimate not working for me
I went from a Reese 16K slider to the Andersen ultimate. My trailer was very stable with the Reese, with the Andersen the trailer is constantly moveing around. It is bad enough that can feel it and it...

And again (LOL) when you figure the geometry of the load going rearward (acceleration or hills) or forward (deceleration, braking) on the hitch how do you figure this law of physics only applies to the Anderson? You have the same physical action with a Reese, go up a hill the force on the hitch goes rearward. Hit the brakes the force goes forward.
True. That applies to all of them, however, in my case it would be less since the pivot in my hitch is lower, but only by a few inches. Lower means lead load forward or back. Certainly not enough difference to argue over.
And statically they will all be the same. The weight is spread out over the base.
Not true. The closer a load is placed to a support the more load goes to that support until you are directly over it and then it carries all the load. You can't move a load without affecting the loads on the supports.
The Anderson, with the base rotated to put the ball in the forward direction, would load a truck pretty similar to my Superglide. When the base is rotated to have the ball in the rear position, not so much.
