Here is a comment regarding a B&W hitch. Everyone on here knows that Cummins has a high regard for his hitch but they are not perfect either.

Below is a review on Amazon.

Amazon review

I have this hitch which so far I have loved for pulling but the unhitch part has been a pain in the arse the 3 times I have used it there has been no release from my kingpin, which requires me to remove the pins on the upper carrier assembly and raise it above the base so it finally releases as I said a big pain. I thought maybe this is just a break-in period and it will loosen up but after 3 long pulls on a 34 ft rv it still hasn't performed as stated in the instructions, which even state that this hitch will release even under strained conditions well mine doesn't I will still say it is a great hitch I think I just got the Monday or Friday made model... I will contact the dealer I purchased from to find out what my options are...

That's very clearly operator error. He's raising he camper too high before releasing and biding up the hitch. When raising your camper you can clearly see the pin release to a neutral position for disconnecting.

As it can be with any hitch or mechanical device. No issues with my Curt and I had a Reese prior to this one. If equipment was trouble free we would have little need for this forum. How many times have there been questions on this forum when it is obvious that instructions were never read? Neither do I need to bash others when I try to justify a high priced item to make myself feel better.
