Question:
Which lube plate is recommended for the BandW Companion 5th wheel hitch part #BWRVK3710? I dont see a specific BandW lube plate and the Curt/Lippert/Reese lube plates look like they come in 10 inch or 12 inch versions.

Expert Reply:
It's recommended to use the 10" lube plate # RP83002 because that is what the manufacturer calls to use. The diameter of the lube plate has more to do with the skid plate surface area on the pin box, rather than the skid plate surface on the hitch.
You could technically use the 12" version # RP83001 as well, but there isn't any real benefit over the 10" version.
