Apologies to OP - not meaning to hijack his post.
Only have 1 400 mile trip on it now. Not sure what this means or if it means anything but concerned. I just put a Reese goosebox hitch on the camper. And the front beam that holds the hitch/ pin box seems to flex more with the this approved goosebox hitch. I always had a small amount of flex over bumps and the like with the Andersen hitch (2years) and the Pullrite 2600 lite hitch (1year) using the Trail Air air ride pin box. Even with the standard pin box using the Pullrite slider hitch on a 6 ft. bed there was a small amount of flex to that cross beam. But it definitely flexes more now. The approval of this type of hitch is just because Lippert bought Reese hitch company I mean how could they say it`s not approved. Hope I have not made a mistake in this purchase. It rides very very nice with many good reviews and no boat anchor in the bed when unhooked. I guess time will tell.

What the other guy said about the Hyjack but it just seemed pertinent.
