Hitch

Anyone out there use the Anderson Ultimate ball hitch on their fifth wheel? What are your thoughts and experiences with it? The new Ultimate hitch is in my consideration right now and I would like some feedback, thanks.

I have two (one for each truck). One is the rail mount and one is the goose neck mount. Very happy with both of them and would buy another if I had another truck. Lol.

I have the old style steel hitch for 4 years now and I will not ever go back to a conventional 5th wheel hitch, I have nothing negative to say about it. However, I'm considering the newer style aluminum hitch because of my back problems - 35lbs vs. 75lbs.

We bought our 2018 379flok from Hollmans in Cincinnati and the new ball style Anderson is all they sell, my salesman told me. So far it's great. My wife and I are full time RV for maybe 5 years and we'll be stopping for 3-4 months at a time as she travel nurses across the country. Looking forward to having my truck bed back for the parked time as it's 3 fifty lb torque bolts and weighs only 35 lbs. remove and chain it up without risking the back muscles.
