Fifth Wheel Lube Plate ????
I am in the process of moving from a TT to a FW. Is a lube plate necessary? or is grease better? . . . . :h Are all lube plates the same or is one brand better than another.

We use a Lube plate. upgraded for tt to fw 2 years ago. never had an issue. others may claim they tear theirs up when hitching and don't use them any longer. Just make sure you have a bit of clearance when hooking up and you will be happy. And - like earlier said, doesn't take away from needed lubrication on the inside of the hitch, and leaves no mess to deal with. We also added a cover to our hitch when not in use. Keeps dust, dirt and water out of inside. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
