Calling all fifth wheelers out there!!! This is a friendly reminder to maintain your hitch. 👍🏻😉 This will improve the safety and reliability of your tow hitch. It is a fairly easy DIY maintenance that should be done in a regular basis for peak performance and safety. The only tool needed is a grease gun! Get 'er done! 😬

also you need to use white lithium grease on the rubber pivot points.

Hitch maintenance is a vital part of towing a heavy trailer. Happy trails fellow RVers🌞

[@JeffSteffsExcellentAdventure]

Do you do regular maintenance on your tow hitch? Any tips? 👍🏻😬

[@jeffswaim6181]

Good job! Only thing I do extra is put a non-petroleum based dry lube on the rubber grommets the hitch head sits on.

[@JeffSteffsExcellentAdventure]

Hi Jeff! Thanks for watching. We have heard that people do this and will have to look into doing it, also. Thanks for the info! 😉

OK, that was quite the work, yet essential to the RV life. You did make the process of greasing look easy though.

[@JeffSteffsExcellentAdventure]

Hi! We’re glad to hear that, because it’s so important when you’re towing your home around the country. 👍🏻😉

Lubing not greasing. 🤣

[@billbell8800]

Thanks I have the B&W as well and I didn’t know about the lube fitting…..

[@JeffSteffsExcellentAdventure]

Hi Bill and glad we could help and share! Safe travels! 😉👍🏻

[@tosburn4942]

I noticed that you did not apply any grease to the face plate. Why is that?

[@JeffSteffsExcellentAdventure]

Hi! We use a lube disc. They are easy to use and long lasting. 😉👍🏻

[@whiteeye42]

just buy a Teflon lube plate then you don't have to use grease and make a big mess.

[@billphillips8933]

Hey, great video! I bought my first 5th wheel a few months ago and I’m learning everything. What kind of grease did you use?
Thanks!

[@JeffSteffsExcellentAdventure]

Hi Bill and congrats on the rig! That’s fun and exciting! 😬👍🏻 Jeff uses Lucas Oil Products, Red & Tacky #2 Multi Purpose Grease. 😉 Safe travels!

[@billphillips8933]

Thanks! Just ordered some!

[@tosburn4942]

I’ve a few people suggesting that. What brand would you recommend? Thank you for your reply.

[@JeffSteffsExcellentAdventure]

We always use the Husky Fifth Wheel Lube Disc. Ours is a 10.” They sell them on Amazon for about $8 each. They last about a year for us and we’re full-time travelers. 😉
