The products are fine...but the customer service is exceptional....thanks for getting this item to me in 5 days...will certainly tell others of your web site.
Product just as described, haven't used it yet. Thanks for getting it out to me and checking up on my order.
shipped quickly and on time. have ordered many items from etrailer and have never had a problem. will continue to do business with them!
The order process was easy, it was shipped in a timely manner and arrived just as ordered. I will bookmark etrailer as one of my favorites!
etrailer is great to work with. Fast shipping, I use these lube plates all the time. Better than grease
I bought this as a backup, most stores don't seem to stock the 12" diameter. I currently only have 1,000 miles on the plate i'm using, my pin weight is 3900#, it looks like it'll last a long time. Don't forget to lube your pin to jaw area, you just don't need to lube the surface where this plate sits.
Great source to purchase from.I placed my order over the internet. I received the items within a few days of my order via UPS. This is the third or forth item I've ordered from etrailer.com. I've been very satisfied with the wide variety of accessories they offer and their shipping.
I highly recommend using etrailer.com as a source to purchase your RV accessories.
Reese 12" lube plate.I have used the Reese lube plate before on previously owned 5th wheels and had great sucess. The lube plate is easy to install and eliminates the mess associated with greasing the top of the wheel wheel hitch.
It installed in a snap, seriously. Just remove it from the package and snap onto the pin. It's that easy.
As for how it performs, it makes locking the pin into the hitch jaw much smoother and it prevents marring the hitch head and pin box.
The lube plate arrived within a couple of days after ordering. It slipped right over the 5th wheel hitch and snapped into place. I'm so happy that there will be no more grease stains applied to my clothing every time I accidentally rub up against the pin or 5th wheel plate. Great product!
What a sexy ring. etrailer nails it again!!! Your costumer service is 1000% better than the other site named after the South American jungle. Fits my 2021 Jayco North Point perfectly.
Quality of material and timely shipment. We will purchase other items from trailer. Staff follow through with shipment and receiving.
I love this lube plate, bought the 1st one I’m so impressed with it I purchased a 2nd one just to have on hand. Etrailer is always on time shipping my orders,taking care and doing follow up checks to see if everything went well.
Installed easy, no grease, no mess, no fuss. No binding going down the road and not a mark on the 5th wheel plate after a 200 mile tow.
