What is the practice for lubricating the 5th-wheel hitch? Are covers usually put over them when not towing? I assume it's possible to buy something like a gas grill cover sold at RV locations? Camp on

    As for lube? Grease it as you hook up heading out. Return trip? Not really necessary. Be sure to use some thinner and paper towels to clean the old grease off before you apply new. Some people use the teflon lube discs and I did for a while, but finally gave up on that idea.
