Coupler on Coleman Pop-Up Trailer is Difficult to Un Hitch on Uneven Terrain

Question:

Im towing a Coleman pop-up trailer. On perfectly level ground, we have no trouble unhitching trailer from ball. But, if the surface is just a little uneven, its almost impossible to hitch or unhitch. Is there anything I can buy from e-trailer to make my life easier?

First let's begin with the obvious. Make sure you're using the correct trailer ball for the coupler. The required ball size should be stamped into the metal of the coupler.

Secondly, make sure the latching mechanism is not excessively worn and has been lubricated.

Finally, how uneven is the ground you're speaking of? In order to latch/unlatch properly, the coupler can't be bound up on the ball.
