I’m sure everyone knows by now that Anderson 5th wheel hitch was in a law suit following an accident several years ago-and there are strong opinions about that hitch. But Anderson also makes a WDH for travel trailers that has revolutionized the TT industry (use of lighter weight components to accomplish the same results as heavy and greasy bars/balls).
When I purchased my 2023 TT the dealer that had installed my old WDH on my 2013 TT explained how they had completely changed all their customers over to the Anderson because of price, ease of use and performance. The thing I didn’t like about my old trailer was the weigh of the hitch, the grease, the time it took to attach and the popping noise it made turning. All those issues are eliminated with the Anderson and it has been a joy to have on my new trailer.
With that all said I realize you are asking about bigger TTs (mine is only 24’). My opinion is that if your TT is over 11K pounds you might be better served by a conventional heavy duty WDH, utilizing heavy bars.
