I turned the Andersen King Pin coupler around and I purchased the Roto-Flex lockout. The lock out doesn’t really seem to lock anything out as the plates aren’t big enough to stop movement on the Roto-Flex. Instead they seem to provide more of a limit on the total movement of the Roto-Flex versus a complete lock out. Testing with this new configuration didn’t show any change. Before I change the hitch I am going to have the dealer check the brakes as a potential issue and do some additional testing. The search continues....

We purchased our Solitude 375Res replacing a Reflection 29RS. The Solitude came with the roto-flex. We kept our Andersen hitch. The dealer did not mention that we needed the Andersen lockout kit. We started our trip on September 9, 2019 and were interrupted at Lima Mt due to a road closure. We were in a parking lot making turn (about 60 degrees) when the Solitude front dipped into back shattering the window. (F-350 with a short bed).
We called Andersen representative asked him about what happed. We sent him pictures of our setup. The Representative called us back and said we did not have the lockout kit installed on the Roto-flex. He recommend that we do not get window fixed until the lockout kit is installed. Evidently the roto-flex movements allow the trailer front to sway to far when turning. We were on flat ground.
The Solitude is brand new and replacing the Roto-flex pin box is too expensive. We have continued our trip and will get the lockout kit in Las Vegas.
