Hitch will not come off the ball.
I am sure this is nothing new to you old timers. We purchased a 2010 Dutchman lite and when we hauled it home we unhooked the torsion bars etc. lowered the trailer, slid the ball lock free and cranked...

Mine is always preloaded forward of the coupler. I set my chocks, put the TV in neutral then park, lower the jack and the tension is released.
If I'm real lazy I just keep my finger on the raise button until the lift pressure is enough to overcome the preload pressure (spoiled with the power jack), but when it releases everything moves a bit uncomfortably for me.
The best solution is to release the pressure by putting the TV in neutral. In some cases I actual have to put it in reverse and ease off the brake slowly to release it.
As a side note: I always make sure the wheels are chocked AND the chains stay connected until it is released and the weight is on the jack.
