Danny, did you put the teflon disk on the pinbox??
Might be the installation. Have a couple in out local camping group that had a dealer install his slider. It would make a lot of noise and could not unhitch twice. Had to hammer it free. He went back and they told him everything was fine. Well he decided to purchase another hitch at a independent repair shop. They informed him that it was very dangerous because it was not installed properly. Nothing bolted to his frame! Just next to it and missing mounting parts.Yes the bed was slightly bent at the hitches mounting. They ordered the parts and remounted it properly. Everything work as it should and was fairly quiet. So you might want to get it looked at by someone other than the people that sold it to you.
1. Inspect all fasteners for tightness at least every 2,000 miles of operation.
2. Inspect jaw and jaw bar for freedom of movement and proper operation before each use. Replace all damaged or worn parts.
3. Keep all moving parts of hitch well lubricated.
4. It is recommended to use grease or a 3/16” maximum Teflon disc to help prevent wear on top plate surface.
Danny, the teflon disk is normally something you have to buy and install. It goes around the pin itself. If you don't have one, get the large one and force it on the pin. You need to put some grease on the pin and the jaws of the hitch. DO NOT put it on the disk or hitch plate. I use lithium grease. Go look at the pinbox at the pin...if you have the disk....you will see it. It's round and normally black.

Demco manual has what they call Very Important Maintenance Instructions. Particularly #3 and 4.
in regards to the Teflon disk, I think this is what everyone is referring too. This disk slips over the king pin on the camper, and lubricates the hitch as it slides into place.
