5th wheel popped out of hitch
Made a right turn on a high with high incline pulling out slowly. Trailer pops out of hitch drops on trailer. Main question. We have a 16k Reese hitch. There are four washers on the handle bar next...

No. We double checked it and the pin was in the hitch
Then hitch was NOT latched!
Didn't do a 'pull test' did you??
On Edit:
Found a statement in Reese Installation Sheet
WARNING:
Do Not use this hitch for towing a trailer with a pin box that could come into contact with or interfere with the latch for the hitch handle when turning! (See Fig. 6)
If the pin box contacts the hitch handle or its latch when turning, the trailer may become unhitched
When turning truck to right does front left area of your pin box make any contact with hitch latch/handle????
