Here is a cut/paste from the manual from the year 2000. They may very well have changed it since then.
MAINTENANCE:
9. DO NOT GREASE THE CAM AND CAM ARMS. The Dual Ca
m was designed to use metal-to-metal friction. Heavy
greasing of the cam and cam arm surfaces with affect
performance. If noise is offensive, a very light coating of
lubricant, such as Vaseline, may be used. Tongue weights over 1,200 lbs. may require a light coating of grease to
reduce friction and prevent excessive wear.
10. Check for excessive wear on any contact surfaces and replace if necessary.
Thanks Barney. That is how my manual from 05 stated it as well. I looked at the instructions on Reese's website and the grease statement is not there. I will still try a light dab of grease on this trip and see how it performs. If I don't like it, it's not hard to remove the grease.
