Near tragic event!!
I'm not new at this. I have pulled boat trailers since I was 17 and Rv's for the past 16 years. I've owned 3 fifth wheels. My maintenance procedures are second to none in my opinion......up until last...

Just a FWIW, but some lug wrenches are not designed to be used to loosen nuts and bolts, even though they are ratchets. Especially the cheapo wrenches. Be sure to check that your particular torque wrench can be used in a counterclockwise direction. Not all of them can.
Plus they actually have to be recalibrated at some point to insure accuracy . We were required to recalibrate , don’t remember now if it was every six months or year . Not sure how important it has to be for wheel torquing , or how far out of calibration they can get . I’ve never personally had my torque wrenches checked for calibration.
