Helpful Expert Reply:

I recommend using the Lippert Never Fail Whisper Disk Lube Plate # LC286160 with your 25,000LB B&W Companion 5TH Wheel. This lube plate is more durable than other Nylon # RP83002 lube plates as it is made of a extra-durable modified polyamide. This reduces the chance of the plate breaking while you are on a trip and having to find a replacement.
