It's your CURT hitch. Look at how low the pivot point is on the CURT. FACT it can cause a chucking feeling.
Compare to the B&W that has it's pivot point at the height of the kingpin.
What took you so long . It's sure possible it's the hitch . He is a great candidate for the Andersen , and IMO would solve his problem . I am sure you will agree on the Andersen with the weight he has , no need for some expensive hitch .
If they made it to attach to the pucks instead of relying on thin beds to support the fore and aft and make the tubing stronger I would consider it for a 12 RV.
YES the CURT can cause a chucking sensation that's a fact.
You do realize they redesigned the Andersen after the problem with what a couple bent hitches ,and since we have had no reports of bent tubing . And as you know shimming the valley on the bed cures that problem . My son runs the Andersen with a bit heavier fifth wheel than the OP ,and there has been no bed deflection . I do believe they have changed the base a bit also .
To be fair ,there has been hitch failures across the board ,so to single out the Andersen is a bit unfair . Also there has never been a fifth wheel come undone with an Andersen . On the other hand how many fifth wheels have dropped on the bed of a truck with every conventional hitch made . Impossible to drop a fifth wheel on the bed of a truck with the Andersen .
