Usually, almost always, we leave the jaws of our Reese closed when hitching up. Then, while backing in you can see the release bar move out and then click back in to signify that the hitch has latched onto the pin. I can even hear it inside my pickup while it's running. Have you tried that?
I'm late to the party here. Let me get this right. You have to have the jaws closed when you back into the hitch to make sure they close? Do they actually make a hitch like that?Just asking.
I have the same question? All the 5th. wheel hitches I have seen require you to pull the jaws open before you back up to hook up. Interesting?
