I can not believe that no one noticed you said you lowered the jacks and then tried to pull the release handle. You CAN NOT pull the hitch jaws open when the jacks have raised the 5th wheel up, putting lots of pressure on the pin box. You can only open the hitch when there is NO pressure or force on the pin and pin box. If you are not careful, you can get killed trying to unhook. You need help from someone whom knows what they are doing. Until then, STOP and GET AWAY FROM IT!
OK, I will bite! How do you take pressure off the hitch without lowering the landing gear?
