6-point leveling systems

Beware the 6-point leveling systems: when it seems like the trailer has been lifted adequately from the 5th. Wheel plate to pull the handle and unhook ... it may not be so. I raised my 5th. wheel in such a manner, pulled away, and dropped my brand new 2013 Redwood on my brand new Ram 3500 bed rails! I was dumbfounded! Thought about it for hours ... seems that, although I was able to pull the disconnect handle, the truck and trailer were not horizontal. I have been a trailer owner since 2009 and owned my own semis. What a slap in the face.

Well, for Captain Bruno it's got everything to do with it..... He was using this system ( right or wrong ) and it caused him damage!

I've never used this system but what the poster earlier said makes since. You got it high enough to pull the handle and then maybe hit auto by accident and when u pulled your truck out it went on to level itself but not giving you time to pull all the way out. To bad at that time getting level didn't mean going up.

Sounds like you hit the Auto Level....not the up arrow for the landing gear and when you drove out it leveled itself.
