dfb, the picture brings back memories. After installing the AUH, and confirming at least 4" clearance at 90 degrees, I went out to practice for my CA Non-Commercial Class A license, and immediately busted out the rear window of the new F-250. Why? Because I wasn't paying attention to the slope of the parking lot I was in. There was a slight slope down toward where I was from both directions, and that caused the overhang of the 3730 to touch the rear window of the cab. Plus, when I recreated the situation, I came to appreciate that the dynamic of the resistence of trailer tires skidding sideways changes the relationship also.

We live and learn. OBTW, I didn't mean to infer you may have not installed the hitch correctly, I was referring to a qualification Andersen would put on their possible actions.
