Fifth wheel covers

I have used one on a show truck, it can suck with the grease, garbage bags are your friend & as long as only the plate is covered in grease its no problem & your cover will not get dirty.

(Just a FYI as we are talking about 5th wheels if you use a kingpin lock on your trailer put a Walmart bag around the pin to keep lock clean also.)

 

I use my old condoms. They're a tad big for the job, but bungie cords keep them in place.

 

In 19 yrs, I've only had one drop in the winter and that's cause I couldn't do a proper "tug" test without getting stuck. Luckily it was empty. We just make sure they are well greased and to clean the snow/ice/sludge off before hooking to something, and then doing multiple tug tests before going anyplace.

 

Personally, I liked the cardboard for covering the fifth wheel. Of course, that could be a two edged sword as well, if you were away from the truck, and the cardboard got wet, then froze. I personally never had that happen, but then I was never away from my truck, without a wagon on it, that much.
