    Barry, How is the Andersen Ultimate hitch and tow vehicle working out? Have you been on a trip yet? We just bought a 2018 303rls and Andersen hitch. Have not towed home yet.

    Bill, the Anderson hitch his working great I have plenty of articulation when I need to back in someplace I just have to watch it I haven't hit anything yet and I don't want to push it hard even on uneven surfaces it's doing well. Truck tows it like it's a dream. I'm sure you will like yours pay attention to what your dealer says about tightening those Allen head screws to 40 foot pounds every couple of trips. We are at the campground today and it's raining like all get-out glad we've got our new reflection

    Outstanding, Barry. Good info on tightening bolts and set screws. Let the fifth wheel learning experience begin. Have a merry Christmas and hope to see ya on the road some day. Georgia is on our camping trip list this year as one of our sons live in Atlanta and lake Martin, AL. Maybe you can recommend good campgrounds.

    Barry, your post convinced me to use the AUH on our 303rls. Have read much about pro / cons of the AUH and am not a pin box engineer. Have been very happy with AUH but a little when reading post regarding Lippert pin box/AUH. What has been your experience with your set up as I have similar and even installed Hellwig bags on my Silverado 2500. Had Sumo springs and do not notice much change with bags. What psi do you run with?

    Bill, sorry for not keeping up with the thread. I have towed at total of 300 mi. so far and it is great. It handles much better than the travel trailer and is rock stable. Have youb towed yours yet?

    with the trailer I use 50 psi in my airbags. Does your 2500 have a rear sway bar? if not and you notice any uncomfortable handling I strongly recommend one. I used the Helliwig heavy duty sway bar and couldn't be happier with the handling. Since mine is an 07 Sierra Classic I just got new poly urethane bushings for my fron sway bar to tighten up the front suspension some. Stay in touch and PM me what is going on.

I noticed you are in the San Antonio area. We are towing out their the first week in June. If you aren't on the road maybe we can get together swap some lies and kick some tires.
