Hitch/Unhitch
After seeing the post "Bad Day" it made me wonder how people hitch and unhitch their 5er. I always make sure the rig is higher by just a bit than the hitch. Maybe a 1/4 to 1/2" and then back the truck...

Maybe a 1/4 to 1/2" and then back the truck under it and lower the rig down on to the truck. I do the same when unhitching. I lift the trailer off the truck,after dropping the landing gear and double checking them to make sure the pins are engaged. Raise the trailer just off the hitch so I can see light between the hitch and rig and slowly pull away. So far So good although I have almost torn off the tail gate a couple of time becuase of fogetting to lower it.
I am wondering what other people do. I just figure if I know the trailer is on the truck or off the truck I wont have it drop.
I do it your way, the main reason is I have an air hitch and this compresses the air bags by doing it this way.
