Something else I have seen over the years with the MR pinbox. The bottom plate of the MOR/ryde pinbox can be easily changed (4 bolts) Maybe Anderson and Pullrite should get together with MOR/ryde and design a new bottom plate. Something else I did not know at the time is that when the MOR/ryde pinbox was spec'd on a trailer being pulled by a Superglide type hitch, blocks were installed inside the hitch to block side to side movement. I ended up getting a prototype Superglide to MOR/ryde hitch custom plate. When we first ordered the Cyclone I had MOR/ryde put their pinbox on but I did not want the 'universal' plate that was available at the time for the Pullrite Superglide (from pullrite). I think I would want that adapter bolted solid to the pin box or better yet, MOR/ryde or Pullrite should just offer a gooseneck ball bottom plate for their hitch. I can easily visualize that movement stressing those bolts. The MR pinbox moves front to back and side to side in a circular motion (oval shaped). The adapter plate slips-bolts on and you adjust the plate to the pin box with four vertical bolts and jamb nuts?ĭon't like that at all and I can see why it would be a problem with a MOR/ryde pinbox. I think I might have found what you have. I don't think it would have collapsed at all, but I don't really know. Besides mine, there is only one other Andersen hitch failure on the internet that I can find. However, the Andersen hitch collapsed and my camper rear-ended my truck. If it were not for the front mounted trailer hitch and license plate holder on my truck, which acted like a battering ram, there may not have been any damage to the other driver's car at all. What they told me at either Andersen or Pullrite, is that the spring can wiggle out of the back of the pinbox not always, but sometimes. I think the Pullrite 2400 has the same issue. They have special lock-out kits for pinboxes by Trail Air Rotoflex. But that is because the spring can get damaged, not the Andersen hitch. I know Anderson has issues with some pinboxes with rubber "springs". I have it now and expect it will solve my problems. MORryde sent me a new, heavier spring but I did not get it in time before my last trip. Actually, the issues I had with MORryde were with two different hitches and trucks. The hitch was not causing the issues with the MORryde pinbox or vice versa.
