When I hook and before raising the trailer legs all the way up I always apply the brake controller to be sure that the 5th wheel jaws are actually locked and the trailer brakes always lock up. But i did notice that when pulling away and trying the brake controller it barely locks them up. I guess I learned something new today about the truck braking system.

For people like my wife and I who were travel trailer people for a while and now moved up to a 5th wheel, the Andersen hitch makes it simple to hook up and go.

Just another selling point for the Andersen Ultimate that I liked. The Earth would have to flip upside down in order for the trailer to fall off the ball of the hitch.
