    bingo! some noob might find this helpful, still see it now and then...

    took years (can happen anywhere anytime tho) before i first ran across the prob for the first time and had no clue

    moving forward ~ 10 ft usually fixes it

    prob depends how loaded too

    Is it a brand new trailer? Our new Hyundai's do that when loading water. Their ultra lightweight and flimsy. Re position the truck 30 times you might get it to latch. I use a crow bar under the door to lift it and it works like a charm.
