Travel trailer hitch
I've been towing a bumper pull travel trailers and boats around for years I've never greased the ball on the hitch. I'm looking at stuff all over the Internet saying that you should Grease the ball...

I grease mine with Vaseline, which is easier to wash out of pants. :)
There was a time when I didn't grease it but the ball wore and the couple galled. It was also noisy at times. Also, a buddy who works on construction equip showed me how balls had worn through several of their trailers couplers requiring eventual replacement.
I've always greased mine. And I grease my old style round bars where the slide up in and lock in the hitch head. Much quieter operation. Usually what ever grease is around. There is no way I am able to keep it off myself for some reason as much as i try. The part about replacing the coupler on the trailer is trouble I don't need.
