Being still on the fence on getting a 5th wheel, I'm trying to get all my questions answered. I know you either place a "lube plate" or grease on the hitch to lessen the friction between the hitch and pin box, lube plate being the preferred method. But there's an area that I would think would be just as important to lube, that being the pin itself inside the hitch jaws. In all the posts I have read I have never seen this mentioned.

Comments please.
