The correct lube plate for a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch is the Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part #RP83002 which is 10" diameter x 0.192" thick.

The lube plate size that B&W has recommended is 10", although the 12" will also work. The lube plates that are 10" are the Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter #RP83002 and the Curt 10" Fifth…

With the weight of your camper I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs #AL35FJ. I prefer these as they have the internal jounce bumper which helps to reduce the bounce that is often associated with towing a trailer and…
