How do you disconnect a rgn trailer AND RECONNEct a rgn trailer?

Answer 1

You really need hands-on training in order to learn this. Specifics are going to depend on whether or not it has a wet line or if it's manual detach. Basically, you place wood dunnage under both the front of the deck, and between the neck and fifth wheel. If you have an air ride suspension, you drop your air bags so that the deck of the trailer sits on the wood dunnage (if your suspension lowers far enough, and you're not worried about scarring up asphalt or concrete, then you can do without putting wood under the trailer deck. At the base of the neck, there'll be either one or two pins (if it's two pins, there's one on either side). You pull these out, and it disconnects the neck from the rest of the trailer. You also have to disconnect the air lines and the electrical line from the neck to the trailer, as well. Separating the two is (or should be) as simple as pulling forward from this point. When you reattach it, you go in reverse order.

Bear in mind that, in the case of trailers from certain manufacturers, there may be an additional step or two (such as pulling the brake valve at the rear of the trailer). Seriously - do not try this without first getting hands-on training.
