I have had my Companion be recalcitrant a couple times and it was because the hitch wasn't either completely unloaded, or it was a slight angle and not unloaded that way.
If the weight is off the hitch, try pulling forward just a touch and pull the handle. Sometimes a little forward/backward load on the hitch will help the jaws release.

With an Andersen Ultimate you wouldn`t have any of these issues to deal with. In the pouring rain.
Thats a fact there, a friend just dumped his Superglide for the Andersen. He was tired of playing games with it to release, everything had to be just right, not too much of an angle, the weight off of it just right etc etc.
With the Andersen its raise the fifth wheel till the ball clears , and away you go, makes no difference what angle or position truck or trailer is in.
This is not the first time we have had people report issues with the B&W, and it won't be the last. I do admit my 18K Reese signature slider has worked flawlessly the 9 years I have used it, if not for the need of the Andersen, I would still be using it, although I still have it ,and still may use it on certain trips.
