Question:
I purchased a BandW 5th wheel to gooseneck hitch from etrailer. Do I need to add grease to the pivot point Zerks before I tow? Or is the unit already greased from the factory? Thank you!

Hey Tim!
Welcome back, and thanks for reaching out!
The B&W 5th Wheel Setup # BW65RV that you purchased from us does come greased from the factory. You'll want to maintain and touch up the grease points every 2,500 miles as shown in the photo below that I grabbed from the owner's manual.
What kind of 5th wheel did you install the adapter on, and where are you planning on taking it?
