Grease on the ball?

A friend we camp with always puts grease on his trailer ball. He says I should do it as well. Is this a good idea?
  • I like to use petroleum jelly.
    It washes out of my jeans easier.

    Watch who you're calling old.
  • I do for my travel trailer but I don't for my little utility trailer.. 14 years with the same TT hitch and ball.. 18 years with the same utility trailer.. :) The EAZ-Lift WD setup gets grease on the ends too. Same age as the TT.

    Good luck!

  • Yes use grease, but you don't have to make a big mess just a couple little dabs will do you.
