Thanks so much for the tip.
I've tried that and it worked pretty good. My only concern is when I have to raise the trailer and the cupler is holding the ball. Do you know if there's a risk on damaging the system somehow after doing this many times?

I had previous issues braking a jack in my old tent trailer because the coupler was holding the ball still and I did't realize that and I over did it. " I know,, silly me" but that's why Im asking, I don't have to replace the jack on this new one, or even worse, having to damage the latch and won't be able to hold the ball again.
