Bars not releasing
I have the Reese dual cam wdh setup. I have used this on a Jayco 23B and Jayco 28rls with no problems. When unhichting, I would raise the front of the trailer, unclip the saddles and drop down ...

The issue is that bolt is just a hair too tight. If you unloosen it a little bit, approx. 1/4 turn as a start, the problem will lessen and then tweak a little more the problem will even lessen more, then if you go too far, the cam arm will fall to the ground. Plunk!
The key is to find just enough tension the arm will not drop to the ground which can be a pain in the neck during hook up to being too tight and the WD bar does not want to come off.
In my case, with nothing connected the cam arms flop to the ground. The nut is not tight to the cam arm, it may not even be touching it. For some reason I thought that the bolt was in reality acting more like a pin and the cam arm was supposed to be sloppy so that the cam and the spring bar could line up better. Maybe that was wrong...

Since putting it on the Heartland 26rls, the bars do not separate and I have to tap cams to move to release the bars. Yes, I learned how to do this without taking my leg off.
I think he and I have the same experience. You release the chain and nothing moves. Then you tap the end of the cam arm (I give it a swift kick) and the bar "unloads". The cam arm shoots down. There may even be a little "pop" noise. You wouldn't want to have you hand or leg under there. There's definitely some kind of spring action involved.
