Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches

Today we're going to review part number RP83002. This is the Reese Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches in a 10" diameter. This lube plate will prevent scratches on your skid plate of your 5th wheel trailer hitch and let's your trailer king pin slide into the hitch with ease. There's no need for any messy grease. The lube plate gives you the lubrication you need. It does offer extra protection with the large surface area and it is constructed of very durable nylon material. Just to give you an idea, this is what the king pin would look like that's on your pin box of your trailer. All you need to do is before you connect to your 5th wheel hitch, put your lube plate on there and then that'll slide into your 5th wheel hitch and give you the protection and lubrication that's needed.

Again the application on this is for Reese 5th wheel trailer hitches with 16,000 pound and 22,000 pound capacities. A few dimensions on this. The diameter again is 10" and the thickness on the plate itself is 3/16". That should do it for the review on part number RP83002, the Reese Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches in 10" diameter. .

Works well, excellent price

As described



by:

What can I say, It's a lube plate.



by:

Does what it was designed to do.



by:

Excellent product, great price, great customer service and fast shipping.



by:

A nice fit, noiseless, and mess free hookups. At a full 3/16 thick it should last forever!



by:

Excellent service. Product arrived within a couple of days after ordering and the product was exactly as described. Excellent price also.



by:

I have purchased items from etrailer in the past and was very happy with their products and service which is why I again ordered from them. This order was received when they said it would be and the items were again of good quality and at a very reasonable price.



by:

Teflon lube plateThis is the second one I have bought. The last was on my previous fifth wheel which has been over 14 years. I probably should have changed it sooner but it still worked.



by:

Excellent serviceDelivered very fast. The product was as I ordered and was advertised. Highly recommend etrailer.com for you trailering needs.



by:

Packaging was very good. Now that I have it, I don’t know if the thickness of the plate will have a negative effect on the pin’s vertical alignment.

Hey Steve! This wont change your set up. The plate will only add to the longevity of your 5th wheel. :)



by:

I received my new B&W Companion Hitch Assembly and installed it on my new Truck.
Perfect fit, and very easy to install.
Plenty of clearance for my bed cover, so I can leave my hitch in place, when not in use.
I appreciate the help from you guys in answering all of my questions, very helpful.
I look forward to using my new hitch shortly.
Thanks.



by:

I used this plays only a few times. It sounded like a good idea to avoid all the grease on the hitch plate. Unfortunately, it only lasted a few times and then was torn during a connection and I had to throw it away. Back to the grease.



by:

The center wore out in less than a year could not keep the disc on the pin when disconnected from truck.



by:

I like the disk. It is some much easier than dealing with grease.



by:

Works great



by:

Great service. Just what I needed to maintain my fifth wheel hitch.



by:

Very satisfied with this item



by:

Works great, just like it was designed

Can't thank you enough for getting our order to us today. Great service!

  • B&W Companion Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500
    For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3700 is the best option you have for the factory rail kit. The Companion hitches are among the nicest hitches around and are considered by most as the best fifth wheel hitch. This would be a great solution. This also will easily work with a Lippert Trailair pin box. For a B&W Companion hitch I recommend using a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We have the Reese Lube Plate, # RP83002, which is my top choice, and the...

  • Troubleshooting Coupling Issues With A Reese Sidewinder Pin Box And Reese 5th Wheel Hitch
    There are a few options to help ease your Sidewinder's coupling with your Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047: 1. Make sure that your trailer is level. This will ensure that the king pin is going in straight. The jaws of a hitch are usually pretty forgiving but can bind up if the king pin is off center too much. 2. You can use a lube plate like # RP83002. This helps the king pin slide into hitch with ease and also helps prevent scratches to the skid plate. 3. Lube the jaws of the...

  • Installation of B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck on 2001 Ford F-350
    The Custom Underbed Installation Kit for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWGNRK1108-5W is a great gooseneck system and is also a really nice combination with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W on your 2001 Ford F-350. For this installation, you will need to slightly lower the exhaust and remove the heat shield as you mentioned. You will reinstall the heat shield so there won't be any issues with heat transfer. I double checked this with the manufacturer. Because...

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2018 Ram 2500 With 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    The fifth wheel hitch I strongly recommend for your 2018 Ram 2500 with the factory puck system is the B&W Companion # BWRVK3670. The Companion is considered by many to be the highest-quality fifth wheel hitch available. It features dual jaws which are a full 1" thick to provide complete contact with your king pin so you can have faith that your connection is completely secure. I've added a picture of the jaws so you can see for yourself how impressive they are. The Companion is also...

  • Picking Out Lube Plate for Fifth Wheel Hitch Connected to Lippert 1621 Pin Box
    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.

  • Looking for 1/8 Inch Thick 5th Wheel Hitch Lube Plate
    If you're looking for a lube plate then we do have the 12" diameter Reese Lube Plate # RP83004 which is 1/8" thick and is designed around fitting the Reese Titan 5th wheel hitches. All of our other lube plates are 3/16" thick so just a little thicker than what you are asking about.

  • Do I Need to Lubricate the Surface of a 5th Wheel Hitch?

The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # RP83002 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup. I saw you purchased the B&W Companion item # BWRVK3715. As you have figured out the B&W Companion weighs over 150 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend...

  • Comparing B&W Companion and Curt PowerRide For 2023 Ford F-450 With Factory Puck/Prep Bed Mounts
    Personally I prefer the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3305 over the Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C48BR. With that said the Curt is rated for 30,000lbs while the B&W is only rated up to 25,000lbs so if you need to tow a trailer weighing over 25,000lbs you will want to go with the Curt. I prefer the B&W as it is made in the USA and has the quality B&W is known for. While Curt does not have a bad reputation I do not like the Wear Plates # C52WR on the Curt and if they...

  • What Lube Plate Should be Used with B and W Companion Hitch
    Hey Jerry, for a B&W Companion hitch I recommend using a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We have the Reese Lube Plate, # RP83002, which is my top choice, and the Curt 10 inch Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate, # 16721, both of which will work nicely with your Companion hitch.

  • Lube Plate And Lifting Device Needed For B&W And Demco Fifth Wheel Hitches
    If you go with the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3770 you could use a lube plate like part # RP83002 to help prevent scratches to hitch head instead of using messy grease. if you go with the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550035 you wouldn't be able to use a lube plate. As for the lifting device, B&W has part # BWRVXA3130, which you lock into the jaws of the hitch and tie to a hoist to help lift the hitch up...

  • Does Lube Plate Need to Be Used for Hijack Autoslide Since King Pin is Locked Out
    I definitely see where you're coming with when it comes to towing using the 18K Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch # DM69GV and Locking Plate # DM76FR for your 2022 Ram 3500. On questions like this I always like to refer back to the owner's manual since they know what's best for their products. If we jump to page 8 of the instructions for the Hijacker we see that Demco does recommend using a lube plate like the Reese # RP83002 just to help keep things from wearing down.

  • Adjusting B and W Companion Hitch Head Height and Pin Box Height to Tow 5th Wheel Level
    The B and W Companion Slider part # BWRVK3775 would be a great choice for you and with it's height adjustability and the height adjustability of the pin box in the trailer frame you'd be able to tow your trailer level. You'd want to first try the lowest hitch head setting and see how far off it is from level and then based on that adjust the pin box height as needed. You might find that with the pin weight of the trailer on your truck suspension that it's close enough to being level without...

    Yes, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 will attach directly to the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099. Do understand the rail adapter will add 1-3/8" of height to the hitch giving you a height range of 17-3/8" to 20-3/8" from your truck bed mounting points on your 2024 Ram 2500. Do remember to use a Lube Plate # RP83002 on your 5th wheel king pin to help reduce noise and increase the life of your hitch head. The Rail Sound Dampeners # 16900 can also be used to reduce...
