Grease or Disks for 5th Wheel Hitch Plates?
What is the preferred method to grease your plate on the hitches? Do you prefer the grease disks or traditional grease? I am using a B&W Companion Hitch

Thanks.
The Teflon disc is a good alternative to grease on the hitch "saddle". As an FYI, I previously owned a 5th wheel and used the Companion. I e-mailed B&W regarding grease vs. Teflon disc. The reply I received stated either was acceptable, but if I used a Teflon disc it should not be more than an 8" diameter. That is not a common size, but I did locate them on JC Whitney's website (5 years ago). They last a long time. B&W also recommended application of grease on the trailer kingpin, which I did every trip.
I have been using a 10" disk with my Companion and no problem with it as far as I can tell and as said one stills needs to grease the kingpin.
