Picking Out Lube Plate for Fifth Wheel Hitch Connected to Lippert 1621 Pin Box
Question:
This is a follow up question. To Jamesons answer. My Lippert 1621 15.5k pin box skid plate area is 12.5” wide by 10” long front to back. I have a BandW Companion hitch, and that skid plate circumference is 13”. Should I be using a 10” or 12” lube plate?

Expert Reply:
Typically the size lube plate to use is recommended by the fifth wheel hitch manufacturer. Normally you want to match the size of the lube plate with about the same diameter of the hitch head's top plate.
The 10 inch size is definitely the most common like the # RP83002 but for some of the Curt hitches they recommend a 12 inch plate like the part # C16722. Let me know what hitch you have and I'll see what is recommended.
