Question:
My curt A20 will not release my king pi. The handle moved into the unlocked position but the jaws did not open. Any ideas on how to release my fifth wheel? Also the handled will not go back into the locking position. Thanks

I spoke with my contact at Curt and he recommended to have you pull away gently with the manual override of your brake controller slid and it will release the trailer from the hitch.
