Hi, we are new to caravaning and learning new things all ofthe time.  On occassions when we go to unhitch, the hitchlock will remain stuck to the tow ball and begin to lift the car up - even when we are lifting the handle right up when turning the jockey wheel.  We have to date managed to unhitch but this does create a sense of panic when it happens on arrival at site.  Is there something simple we are doing wrong either when we park or try to unhitch (we tend to use CL's so often have to manouver to get the flatest spot or get level (no motor moverSad).
