Pullrite Superslide 5th Wheel Hitch
We bought a tow vehicle with one of these hitches and after we bought a trailer and hooked it up, we can't get it to unhook. We have tried EVERYTHING. We had a washer/dryervinstalled at Camping World ...

Well, it is a Sunday after all.
Has he tried to unhook it now that the head is lose? That usually works for me when the king-pin has gotten pinched in the cauls.
What usually happens is the truck rolls a little forward, or the trailer a little back, this puts pressure on the cauls and prevents pulling the handle.
When this happens, try chocking the back of the trailer and slightly backing up.
If that doesn't work I extend the landing gear just enough so that I can wiggle the head of the hitch around.
If that doesn't work I remove the two pins that attach the head of the hitch to the body and lift the head up (using the landing gear of the trailer)
I've never seen the king-pin bound so tight that will not work.
