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?

Here's a couple pic's of my first Anderson ball with less then 2 thousand miles on it with no grease. Notice the wear on the ball and the red sleeve deal squeezing out. Anderson did send me a new ball assembly and sleeve but after 500 miles of no grease it started to wear just like the first so I know put a little grease on it.
If I had to do it over again and knowing what I know now I would have never went with the Anderson hitch but my pickup handles the trailer just fine and since I have never had a problem towing without a weight distribution hitch when I have done it in the past I figure I'm not going to spend the cash to upgrade hitches at this point. The Anderson dose move some weight and helps with sway some what so I guess its better then nothing plus it sure is light.
