Playing catch up here but, I have to agree with truck maker. I was real happy with the concealed rod for the fifth wheel but as time went on I realized it's a bit of a pain and wish I had a manual release for those times when you want to uncouple and not have to power up the truck. That idea was short lived and I never bothered because I discovered another PIA. All my trailers have SS Tronix wireless systems with motorized support legs. I didn't want the manual toggle switch to run the legs and never installed so even if I can release the trailer, if the legs are up, I can't run them down without powering the truck up.
It's a bit annoying but Not bad enough to revamp the set up.

Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Sir
It sounds like you have quite a debacle on your hands and changing, building and creating is the best part about this hobby. For the fifth wheel I'm going with the braided steel wire so I don't run into the problems previously mentioned.

How do you like that wireless system for your trailer? Eventually I would like to use a wireless trailer system when the time comes.
