Andersen Weight Distribution Drop Hitch


Looking at WDH. Has anyone has/had experience with the Andersen Drop WDH. I have a Jayco Journey Outback so a 8 inch drop model probably required. (And for those wondering, we have had no issues over the last six years with the van nor our previous 3 Jayco's).

If not an Andersen I would appreciate input by other Outback owners as to your choice of WDH.

 I have had many vans and even more fangled WDH  -  The Anderson is nothing like any of the others

and is truly revolutionary.

 

I would have 100.000k on mine now and I wouldnt have any other - the more k's I do the more I

appreciate it.

 

You will find it hard to get it around much - go straight to the distributer here in SE Queensland.

The dealers are held to ransom by one other well known brand. I would be a long story as to why

it is superior so you will have to go forward in blind faith unless others on the forum will add in.

 

So adjustable - cuts out "porpoising" - super safe with the additional chains, built-in anti sway -

no pressure struts . . . . .

Ubique 68 I assume you found this old thread.

Andersen WDH

My comments made in a few posts there still stand. I reported that I had done 20,000km with the friction cone. Three years later now, I have just replaced it. I consider it an inexpensive service item, the only maintenance I have done.

Another benefit of the Andersen vs Hayman Reese is less weight. When compared to the original hitch I think from memory it was about 10kg heavier, virtually negligble.

You asked about the 8" drop version. I am surprised you would need that much. If you have load sharing suspension, getting the van level is not so important. With non load sharing, it becomes much more so. You did not say what size van or what you tow it with.

But I suggest if you want to discuss it further, post in the Technical, weights and measures section.
