One single disc, no grease and no drilling, and it quiets the groan on tight turns while protecting your hitch from wear. English and French packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you tow a fifth wheel, you already know the hitch takes a beating. Every turn, every bump, every launch ramp puts the trailer's kingpin plate grinding against the head of your hitch. The Camco Eaz-Lift 10-inch Fifth Wheel Lube Plate sits right in that contact zone and takes the friction so your hardware doesn't have to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a simple piece of gear that solves a real problem. Steel-on-steel contact at the fifth wheel connection wears both surfaces over time, and it makes noise doing it. That chatter and groan you hear on tight turns? That's metal fighting metal. Drop this disc between the hitch and the trailer and the two surfaces glide instead of grind. Your hitch head lasts longer, the kingpin plate stays cleaner, and the ride quiets down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10-inch diameter gives you full coverage across the contact area of most standard fifth wheel hitch heads. It's the single-disc configuration, so you get one plate ready to drop in. No grease gun, no lube tube smeared across the hitch, no black handprints on everything you touch afterward. Just the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is about as easy as towing gear gets. There are no tools and no drilling involved. You set the lube plate over the hitch before you back under the trailer, hitch up like you normally would, and the plate does its job from there. When it wears down after a few seasons, you pull it and drop in a fresh one. That's the whole maintenance story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond cutting friction, the plate absorbs vibration at the connection. Fifth wheel setups transmit a lot of road feedback through the kingpin, and some of that shudder you feel in the truck cab comes straight through the hitch. A lube plate damps that a little, so the whole rig feels more settled on rough pavement and washboard gravel. It won't turn a stiff truck into a luxury coach, but it takes the edge off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold weather is where a lube plate really earns its keep. Grease stiffens up when temperatures drop, and a hitch that's dry or gummed up in the cold groans and binds on every turn out of the campground. A solid lube plate keeps that connection sliding no matter the season, so your spring shakedown trip and your late-fall run both feel the same off the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody running a fifth wheel travel trailer or toy hauler who wants to protect the hitch investment and skip the grease. It's especially handy if you hitch and unhitch often, since every cycle is another chance for grit to get between the plates. And it's a clean solution for folks who just don't want to deal with pulling out a tube of hitch lube every trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe packaging carries both English and French language text, so it's ready for buyers on either side of the border. That's the English\/French Language Package you'll see in the product title. It doesn't change the plate itself, just the box and the instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few honest notes. This is the 10-inch size, so check your hitch head before you buy. Most standard fifth wheel hitches take the 10-inch plate, but larger heads may call for a bigger disc. It's a wear item by design, so plan on replacing it periodically rather than expecting it to last the life of the trailer. And it reduces friction, it doesn't eliminate it, so keep an eye on your hitch hardware during normal maintenance like you always would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the money, it's cheap insurance. A hitch head costs real money to replace. A lube plate costs a fraction of that and takes the wear so the expensive part doesn't. If you tow a fifth wheel and you're not running one, this is an easy upgrade to make before your next trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10-inch diameter disc covers the contact area of most standard fifth wheel hitch heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSits between the hitch head and trailer kingpin to reduce metal-on-metal friction and wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAbsorbs vibration at the kingpin connection for a more settled tow on rough roads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo tools and no drilling required, set it in place and hitch up as usual\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrease-free alternative to messy hitch lube tubes, no black handprints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-disc configuration, ready to drop in straight out of the package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuiets the groan and chatter you hear on tight, low-speed turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWear item by design, quick and inexpensive to swap when it thins out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaging with both English and French language text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does a fifth wheel lube plate actually do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt sits between your hitch head and the trailer's kingpin plate and reduces the metal-on-metal friction at that connection.
