This is just a small excerpt of their "stuff" but it is significant just the same. All manufacturers carry that kind of jargon. In the instance of Andersen I've never read from anyone with a failure of a frame being covered by Andersen; it's always a manufacturing defect.
On the other hand.....it IS usually a manufacturing defect. Lippert, given the opportunity (especially if you are using an Andersen....ie; not covered) blames the hitch. Andersen says there's no way and the buyer is caught in the middle.
Does the Andersen "cause" frame failures by its design? Not in any possible way I can see. Do the Lippert frames have lots of failures without the use of an Andersen? Yes. So it seems that Lippert, IMO, in their effort to support their relationship with Reese, will not accept the use of an Andersen or any other product on their frames as a deterrent to possible buyers. I have faith in the Andersen....not so much in the Lippert frame but....I bought it (Lippert) and will deal with it. I'm fully confident the Andersen will not play a role in any potential failure.
