I'm not a 5th wheel guy but I have helped my brother unhitch his Curt hitch when the truck is not level side to side. As mentioned above, it IS a PITA.

Welcome from the President of the “B&W HeavyWeight Hitch Club”.
Thanks.
Question. How noisy is the hitch? We pulled the trailer a mile down the road to the gas station in order to get a measurement on concrete and we got a couple clunks upon start and stop. Admittedly, the tension on the pucks is taught but not to the point to where I really had to work to lock in the hitch to the bed.
Are the clucks to be expected ore do I need to tighten things up better?

I have the B&W Companion manual slider. It's very easy to see when your hitched correctly, easy to operate - hitch/unhitch. The only downside is that its pretty heavy and takes a couple of guys to move it. It fits under my tonneau cover and I lubricate the moving parts with white lithium grease.

Another thing about the Curt is the heads pivot point is several inches below the hitch plate. The B&W's pivot point is in line with the hitch plate/kingpin.
Reason I mention this is it is documented here several times that people have CHUCKING with this Curt setup!
The Curt pic is from an in law he HATES it as it's a PITA to unhitch at times if RV and Truck are not on the same plane side to side. He has said many times "I wish I had your B&W". His Curt came with his truck.

So how tall are the trailers you guys are pulling? With my new truck and the BW hitch having a minimum 17” height, the top of my ac will be above 13’-6”. Guess I can put the stock pin back on my trailer but that won’t help much and would rather have that air bag smooth out the ride.
