I, too, have the Andersen and have found the exact opposite of your issues. I've owned pull trailers for 30 years and have used almost every type of hitch and think the Andersen is by far the easiest. At 76 I just couldn't handle the bars on other hitches. Most of the time I don't even need the wrench to hook or unhook the Andersen. I do have a power lift, just lift the trailer and truck up a ways, and it all goes together in an instant. I have found that if you unhook on a given angle, then you have to back the truck up on the same angle when you rehook. That lines up the hitch and trailer so the pin slides in effortlessly. Then the chains are almost always loose and I just snug up the bolds by hand. What could be easier?
