I just looked at mine and I don't have the issue currently. Could your bushings be worn allowing for more movement? I know that Reese did or is still replacing some bushings. Not sure the models though. Still puzzled here.
On edit - What color are you bushings? They appear to be gray? Mine are the current yellow/orange ones. Just wondering.
If they are a different co;or, perhaps Reese will replace them with their current ones. I know mine are very snug, even the pin is a tight fit.
Hope this helpsLast edited by powerscol; 05-17-2019 at 02:11 PM.

Bushings appear tight, they are yellow the hitch is 4 years old and has 20000 miles on it. I’ll see what they send the tech guy was talking the klik pins but they do come in a kit with bushings and Head Pins. Thanks for the responses.

Received the klik pins part # 55478. I will start adding checking the position of the Head Pins when I do my pre hook up check. Have painted half the Head Pin head black so I can know at a glance it's position. Thinking the Head Pin does not rotate with weight of RV on the hitch but probably during the time it's empty being jostled around in the bed.

I use the same R20 hitch.(30867). I just wish I could get my trailer unhooked 50% of the time without having to remove the hitch from my pickup and raise the hitch till it drops off of trailer. I have to pull the 4 pins off of the rails and drop the hitch after much trying to unhook regular.. I'm not new to 5th wheels. Greased all parts with lithium grease. Happens with sidewinder pinbox. Anybody got any ideas? Reese was no help.. This is my second of the same hitch. 50% would be generous, It worked right 1 time out of about 25. Jaws just won't release.

Chalk the trailer tires and back the rig into them, or forward depending on what is needed, lower the landing gear to just take the weight off the hitch (no gap but head will move slightly). If you have a gap you are binding up the jaws. Put truck in neutral to equalize pressure (I sometimes hear a click), put back in park and lift and pull release handle, Should release. If not repeat, but this time put in drive/neutral/reverse/neutral/park rocking the pin in the head. Never takes more then 2 tries. The handle should be up in the unlock position doing this. If there are two of you the second person can pull on the release handle; while you rock the truck. I do the same rocking when hooking up. I can get the locking handle to close, but only 98% of the way (green indicator says locked). By rocking I get a definite click and handle lays totally flat ready for the locking pin or padlock.
Question - by chance are you using a thin lube plate on the king pin? If you are, take it off Reese says with this hitch not to use them. The tolerances are so tight with the locking jaws they can bind up, or not lock or release.
