Pictorial is OK
I would add/correct/clarify a couple of items:
1) you state 'unhitching' when in fact you are 'hitching' the 5vr up
3) partner helping.....need to caution that at no time should partner get between truck and trailer (unless clear communication)
6) not all hitches can be connected/hitched with handle closed----some have to have handle open when backing into jaw(s)/bar. Yours can, mine can but not all can
7) should 'Visually' verify
15 & 16) I do them swapped.........final work around and 'check of lights' then wheel chocks come off and we go
