Reese 16K Kwik Slide problem
I have a Reese 16K Kwik Slide on a short bed Dodge Ram. On a recent trip I could not get the slide mechanism to release from the towing position to the maneuvering position. After the trailer was removed I noticed that when I moved the lever from travel to maneuver the driver side of the hitch assembly was properly loose, but the passenger side was absolutely rigid. A fellow camper said that he worked for a RV repair shop and he had seen this problem. He said that he would repair the hitches by replacing the metal "dogs" that pinned the hitch in position. I have notified Reese and will see what they say, but I'm curious if others have had this problem also. Five years and about 25,000 miles of towing on this setup so far with no other problems with the hitch.
