Before you get that lube plate, look at your hitch. I am not familiar with the B&W, but my new Reese has a lube pad built onto the jaws to do the same thing. Using one of the white pads on a hitch with the pad on it might effect your hookup ability.

Reese Lube plate
Yes that item is what I have. The hitch is a Reese 21k that I got in Sep from Camping World of Chattanooga.
To clarify... is that a plastic plate that attaches to the metal skid plate? Approximately... how thick is it?
