First class 1 shift on my own

cooper1203:
thanks for the advice all. I do vagualy remember my instructor saying somthing about the rear susspenstion on my lessons. As to the “knife” jamming up is that somthing i caused or lack of maintenance is there somthing i can check on my walk around?

What we are saying is that the “knife” (the bar that goes across to hold the pin inside the vee of the 5th wheel) is being pressed hard against the trailer pin. That is why it is hard to pull: the friction on it.
Nothing wrong really with the kit, probably.
