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...

If you rock the hitch head fully to the left, a long shank lock can hit the legs and push the locking lever up. We did this once, we now use a short shank lock. The lower the hitch is adjusted the more likely this is.
I think the tech that installed the hitch lost the factory black spacer, then just spaced it out with washers.
We've used a 16K Reese hitch for 11 years now. Most times it hitches just fine, some times not. No there are times when I just don't like the way is sounded and will rehitch. Always do pull test, just drop it in drive before raising the legs. If it's not latched you'll drive right out, you don't have to pull hard.
