I've been looking at the Husky hitch with the Under the Bed mounting system. Does anyone have any experience with this and are they any good?

Ditto! Mine's near four years old now and I've had no issues with it.

Typically, a weight distribution hitch is a weight distribution hitch. One is much like any other and for weight distribution, pretty much all do the same job. I originally had one on my coachmen tt and it did a good job; unfortunately, it did nothing for sway control. I therefore converted it to a Reese dual cam unit and then I had both weight distribution and sway control (sort of).

Oops, the OP is talking about a 5th wheel hitch, not a travel trailer hitch . . .

PS as with the others, don't have the underbed rails, but love the Husky

I have had the underbed Husky (16K) for 3 seasons. So far so good. Mine is the slider. No issues.
