New to fifth wheel towing, within the last 5 months, about 2500 miles and about 20 times now for the hook and un-hook. I make sure i am level with the hitch and use a bungie cord to pull hitch down on one side if needed, then back in little by little with co-pilot adjusting the height of the fifth wheel as needed. She watches the hitch lever move out and in. when i fell the bump, not hard. i stop and get out and physically make sure the lever is in locked position, look at eh jaws and double check the are closed. look again as i do my walk around, do a double look and haven't had any issues and in hope of no future issues either. Again, i double check and double check and always look at everything during my walk around and at each stop!!! Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
