Trouble Opening 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
We have a Reese Elite RE18 trailer hitch. About half the time when pulling into a campground, the release arm will not let go. We have to rock the truck in drive and reverse three or four times before...

Try chocking the rear wheels of your fiver then push back onto the chocks.
Set the trucks parking brake then see if it's easier to pull the handle off.
This is what I do too. I would add that when I get the hitch released I release the P-brake and let it all relax before I unhitch. The trailer will inch the truck forward a couple of inches.
