I think your creating work for yourself. Lower the legs a bit. A bit depends on terrain and whether your going to need to raise or drop the nose. Pull the snaps pins. Continue lowering the legs. Eventually the pins will snap into the next available hole. From there continue lowering the legs until you get enough strain to release the hitch. Release and pull out. Once clear raise or lower the legs to make the trailer level.
OP Here,
You learn something new everyday!
I was shown by the dealer when I purchased the 5th wheel in 2006 that you pull out the pins adjust the legs so pins can be reinserted and then proceed to lower legs. Being my first RV I didn't question him as at the time I was able to handle raising and lowering of the legs. I have since replaced the removable pins with the pin locks and just proceeded to continue with the same process. Thinking about it now it does really make sense.
I will be adding the eye bolts in the bottom hole to help with the lifting of the legs.
Thanks everyone for your help!
