I still do believe there are advantages to this hitch, and I had nothing but good results with it.
Now, going to a much heavier 5th wheel than our past one (about 4000lbs heavier) I started asking more questions. And again, I am basing my decisions on having a brand new Montana with a 3 year warranty that I do not want to compromise.
As to whether there are risks of the "offset adapters" that hitches like the AUH and the Pullrite SuperLite use, I can see where that may be possible, but I also think the likelihood is low. I guess "use at your own risk", and YMMV, etc

I keep hearing this offset adapter thing, I suppose its because the adapter goes on the kingpin ,and offsets where the ball enters the adapter. I tow with a Ram 3500 short bed ,the shortest of the three. I run the adapter putting the front cap closer to the cab, so what that means is I am further back on my pin box where the ball of the Andersen enters the adapter then if I was towing with a standard hitch. Which means there is less leverage out on the pin box. So this offset thing for me is far from a factor. FYI ,but I have towed with the adapter the other way around on two different pin boxes , a Lippert ,and MORryde, not a problem.
