How the hell did you get possession of this 5er from a dealer or private seller and what seems like you didn't even do a walk through? No offense but it's as if you weren't even shown the most basic functions of the equipment.
Very true. I was walked around the 5th wheel and shown where the switches were and how they worked. The guy backed the truck up to the trailer and hooked up. Then he unhooked without having moved the truck or rig and said for me to do it. I pulled forward and then backed up until it latched and he said: "That's all there is to it." My friend that helped me last night said it was like they handed me the keys to a 747 and said: "Have a nice flight."
I had a similar experience getting my first RV last year. There is a pretty steep learning curve to get into the RV camping/world if you've never been exposed to it before. Also, you don't know which questions to ask on the walk through and they sure aren't going to tell you -- they just want to get it done.
I suck at backing up my 5th wheel too. I can back smaller bumper pull trailers (horse, snowmobile), but I seem to have a mental block on 5th wheels for some reason.
