I'm guessing it might be a Fontaine???
I have had problems with them regularly..... mine does the same thing occasionally, but not all the time. I just had the the annual DOT inspection done and it was out of spec and failed? I called several places about a rebuild or having them rebuild mine, and they said it would cost about $450-$500...... an new 5th wheel installed was $750 total, so I just had them put a new one on since it's basically just money in the bank. Now it should be good for another 600K miles I hope?
