The offset with the gooseneck version would eliminate that problem.

I read somewhere that one of the gooseneck base/ball manufactures mounts 1 inch behind the axle, plus the three for Demo would put me in the goldilocks zone that the Anderson gives. (I think I saw that for Anderson
). If so, I like the pluses for Demco. Thanks for posting the info. Maybe another Demco owner has tried the gooseneck mount on a 5 1/2 and can say how it worked.
