Hitch ball grease

I am new to travel trailers. How often do I need to put grease on the hitch ball? What kind do I buy and where do I find it?
  • I grease the ball every time and clean it off when I unhitch. I use a tube of synthetic grease and use about two small tubes per season.
  • I always greased mine before every towing session if I had unhooked from the trailer.
    If I did unhook, I always wiped the old grease off the ball to get rid of any dirt and to help keep my pants clean.
    Used an old can of wheel bearing grease.
