nylon disc

[Dick_641]

Just got a new B&W hitch an was wondering if there is one nylon disc better or are they all about the same. Had a pullrite hitch before so never used one.

How would it work to make one out of a cutting board?

[packnrat]

yes, far better than grease.
even if you over pay at a rv dealer. they are worth it.

great thought, bottom of a five gallon bucket.

Great call on the B&W!

The jaws are so thick on the B&W that the standard 1/4" thick disk makes it hard to see when the weight is off the hitch. Hensley sells a 1/8" thick disk that is not cheap but it does make it easier to unhitch. Some will say they have no problem with the 1/4" disk and B&W. I am saying it makes it much easier!

I like the orange one that is attached to the hitch.

I've tried two different 5th wheel lube plates. The traditional Reese white nylon and the black Whisper Disk from Lippert.

I had retention issues with the Reese on my B&W Companion.

The Whisper disc is very nice and seems to wear less.

I prefer the Whisper disk, but it is more expensive.

Nylon is all the same. Get the correct size to cover the pin box plate
