I am new to 5th Wheel. How many of you use a Lube Plate on the 5er? I got one and it appears to add too much space (height) for my hitch to lock the kingpin in place without some effort on my part.
Are they necessary?
If not a lube plate what do you do?
Yes .....have since 2005
What brand is your hitch.
Some will NOT work with a plate
Some you will need the 1/8" plate
So what is your hitch?
