FORGET the bed saver!!!
1. Never leave the arm pinned open!!!
2. remove pin ( I prefer a lock) back in alignment with pinbox stop just short. Now raise or lower so the bottom of the pin box is slightly lower than the top of the hitch place. Back til you feel it make firm contact. Put parking brake on. Now reach over bed side and close and lock the handle. Before closing tailgate LOOK to see the 1" thick jaws are closed around the kingpin and the top of hitch and bottom of pinbox are touching.
3. This is where I tell you to read your instructions. OK now if you want to use the great mind GOD gave you you will have VISUALLY verified you are truly hitched and now can raise the RV landing gear and close your tailgate.
If you look like first and third pic it's hitched plain and simple!!!
