I love it. A well made older rig. Love and miss those giant Windows the older pre slide rigs had.

Searched the 5th threads for \"hitch,grease\" and came back with some hits, but nothing that gives me a definitive.
What's your opinion on greasing the 5th wheel, what type of grease, how often to clean the old and re-grease. Just the pin or the plates too? What about the nylon plates that the king pin goes through, are those worth the 12 bucks and should you grease the plates also?
The definitive answer is \"Do what the manual for your hitch says to do.\"
Some manuals tell you specifically not to use a Teflon disk.
