Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I am getting noises from my hitch. What type of lubricant do you use? Dry or old fashion grease or some thing I am not aware of that works well with no or little mess.

We put on one of those teflon plates and no more noise. You can get them at just about any RV place.

I use a dry lubricant like a Moly Lube or Teflon Lube. I spray it anywhere there's metal to metal contact on (or in) the hitch.

Keeps everything quiet and doesn't get as dirty as a petroleum based lubricant.

I've also used a synthetic wheel bearing grease when I was out of the dry lube.

We use a teflon plate for the top and for the rest of it we use axle grease.  Just a thin schmear like my old man used to use to slick back his hair.
