Congratulations on your new purchase. I enjoyed reading about your adventures and misadventures.

About that coupling. I find that if I make sure the ball is towards the front of the coupling (away from the pawl in back) the latch works much easier. Chock the TM wheels, then pull forward just a little to take the pressure off of the pawl, then try the latch. When rasing, you might have to let the TV drift back a little so the ball doesn't hang up in the front lip. I betcha after a few camping trips, there will be no need for the "hammer" method.
