Interested to see if anyone has used the lube plates for fifth wheel trailers. I am considering getting one but wanted to see what the pro and cons others have experienced. And they come in two sizes 10" and 12" how do I see which one I need?
 
I have one my dealer gave me with the trailer. It's sure a lot cleaner than grease. I think if you measure across the plate on the trailer you'll be able to get the size you need.
 
Have used the lube plate for years. Works like a charm. I use the bigger size. Look at your receiver and pin. If you have a 12 inch mating area or more, use the 12 inch. More "lube" area than the smaller model.
 
These plates work well, end grease, or squeaks.  I had one on a trailer for years and little or no wear.  Well worth the money

By lube-plate we are talking about the nylon disks that attach above the kingpin to prevent wear on the hitch, correct?

I've been towing on a Gooseneck conversion, but will soon need a full fifth wheel hitch, so please pardon the ignorance.

Thank you,
Chris
 
That is correct. Sometimes they are refered to as "slick disk"
I do change mine after a couple or three years even though I don't think they wear out.
