To grease the ball or not?
Should you grease the ball? I have been but was just recently told I shouldn't.

One method that I and others have used for years, at least on smaller trailers is to fold up a sheet of waxed paper until it is 4 thicknesses. Fold this over the ball and hook the trailer. The wax acts as the lube but is isn't messy.
I've used this on my motorcycle camper for years and the waxed paper will usually last a couple of days. Cheap and fairly clean.
Not a bad plan, but I just cary a small tub of grease in the TV tool box and Paper towels, Grease on then grease off for the GN on the daughters horse trailer. Sorry I am very old school, moving parts get grease.
