My source is Andersen. This is a cut and paste of the email conversation I had with them on July 22, 2014 The only editing I did to the below was to remove any of my personal information.....

The Mor/Ryd was given to us by the manufacturer to do some testing with on our product to see possible problems of using our setup with it. Our hitch actually performs best with a stationary pin box that does not pivot or move as those movements actually cause a surging sensation while towing with. The Roto Flex has been known to want even pressure on the pin plate that a traditional fifth wheel hitch provides instead of our coupler block which has pressure centralized to a smaller area.

>> Thank you for contacting us in regards to our Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch and using it on your Rota Flex Pin Box. The coupler block changes the pressure applied to the pin plate just enough that it is better to use a traditional pin box compared to the ones that have movement in them like this Ultra-Fab does.

Anybody that wants more clarification should contact Andersen and ask the questions themselves, just like I did. The people at Andersen are very helpful and accommodating.
