A fellow camper bud showed me this. It's new and different. Anyone using one? Andersen WD hitches A U-tube video with the factory guy explaining it. You have to get past MR Truck doing his...

I will post here for the simple fact that the above cut and paste information is taken out of context.
1. Pull back feeling. Even though I had my TV/TT on what I thought was level ground during set up, it was not. After towing to the coast and parking at the RV spot which was very level it was apparent my ball was 2" too low. This was causing the rear axle of the trailer to unload which was visually found when viewing the trailer fenders.
Correcting the ball height eliminated the pull back issue completely.
2. After reading and reviewing several posts, I am finding that I most likely do not have enough tension on the chains at this point, but I am with in range.
The excursion is a capable tow vehicle, but I have never had a vehicle that was such a pain to deal with. I do not believe it is the hitch but the entire set up as a whole.
Also, base on my measurements I am outside the range of front wheel height. Once I dial this in on Sunday I will supply better data.
Please understand that the other thread is based on the fact that mrad and I not only the have the same TV but nearly identical trailers by size and weight requirements. That posting is to help both of us to understand how to set our vehicles up specifically and not argue symantics of Andersens' design or peoples opinions of said design.
I didn't want to post in this topic because I don't want to be part of a discussion that I don't agree with.
