We like the idea of the Anderson due to it's low weight and ease to remove it. However, we have a rolling Tonneau cover, and I am also now concerned about chucking (which I just learned about!)
Any suggestions on a good hitch set up? Do I need to upgrade the Pin box since the Cougar's advertise max turning radius and the Road Armour suspension?

I made the move from a TT to a fifth wheel this past spring. I am towing a Solitude 310GK with a Ram 3500 SRW short-box using the Andersen. I also have a trifold cover.
The only “chucking” I have experience was due to uneven concrete highway pavement and that is something all of us has experienced.
I like the fact I can remove the Andersen without the need of friends or a overhead hoist and with the lower weight it gives me more cargo capacity.
So, basically it is what you desire-a traditional hitch, a goosebox or the Andersen.
