Sounds to me like Lippert is trying to weasel their way out of fixing what they essentially caused themselves...not making a frame strong enough to begin with.
As for the AUH, we bought ours when we bought our first SOB 5th, and had no problems with it. Bought our 3820FK in 2017, brand new, and installed the AUH on the kingpin. Currently have just shy of 11,000 miles (as per hubodometer I installed) with absolutely NO problems at all. And we’ve gone over some rotten roads...haven’t we all?
I’m no engineer, but common sense says extra stress is virtually non-existent. If you look at the "funnel", when the ball is seated in the funnel it is on same level as the kingpin if it were locked into a regular fifth wheel hitch.
I may be wrong, but felt I needed to add my .02 worth.
