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...

This is a recipe for dropping the 5er!
Most of the damaged trucks I have seen have REESE hitches. Seriously I would sell what you have and buy a B&W.
You should not have any problems hitching or unhitching!
Flame on!
First, anyone who ends a post with "flame on" is purposely being incendiary.
So how many damaged trucks have you actually seen?
I seem to recall a poster having an issue with the pins that hold the B&W hitch jaws in place. Could be a one off, but I read it on the internet so it has to be true.
Try being constructive for a change.
When I was a rookie, I found the cause, as many others have stated and that is taking too much weight off, it's fine to let the springs work a little.
