Re: New Trailer, First time everything
TBat,
Congrats on the new trailer. I just bought the Laredo 29BHS about 3 weeks ago.
As TundraBay said, when you are ready to disconnect the trailer from the RV:
1. Use the tongue jack to raise the front of the trailer and the truck
2. When lifted, remove the bars on your distribution hitch.
3. Lower the trailer (and truck) so that both are at rest.
4. Unlatch the lever on the receiver
5. Start cranking the tongue jack to raise the trailer off of the ball.
6. If the ball (and truck) start rising along with the trailer, you can put your foot on the trailer hitch and push on it a few times (side to side or up down). The receiver should "come off."
7. If it doesn't, get in the truck and pull forward about an inch. The receiver should come off easily.
8. Begin shopping for an electric tongue jack, especially is you are always the one to connect and disconnect the trailer. I would get a 3500 or 4000 pound jack, even though your tongue weight is only about 700 lbs. You are lifting the truck also.
