Which Lube Plate For Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch
Question:
Do I need the Hitch Lube Plate with the Demco Autoslide Hitch
asked by: Terry J
Expert Reply:
Demco does recommend using a lube plate that is not thicker than 3/16" or grease on the skid plate of the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM8550034 for protection and easier hook up of your pinbox.
I recommend going with the Curt Lube Plate # C16722 which is 12" x 3/16" to ensure the whole skid plate is covered opposed to the Curt Lube Plate # 16721 which is only 10" x 3/16".
I included a video of the Curt # C16722 for you to take a look at.
