5th wheel hitch problem... Will not release
Finished our 24 day adventure. Went to unhook but the hitch will not release. It had given a couple of small problem earlier but had always released. Don't know all lingo but the handle will only pul...

Or, get a B&W Companion hitch that can still be released with a =lot= of tension on the king pin...if you're brave enough. :-O I chock the FW (not "chalk"), put the truck in neutral, then set the parking brake. Unpin the locking handle and move it to the open position and pin in in place. Sometimes, it takes a bit of effort, but it's usually (in my case) due more to =side= stresses from uneven ground than anything else. YMMV... Needless to say, I love my Companion.
