    I used to spit on mine, but now I use DC-111. It's a silicone grease. Real slick, and doesn't eat rubber and nitrile.

    Little bit of grease helps, especially if someone’s iced over the 5th wheel and it’s hanging off nose of trailer.

    This might come across as dirty, but I am serious...KY or other personal lube works, doesn't deteriorated the seal material, and is water soluble so it doesn't gunk up with road grime. The problem is convincing the wife that it really is a necessary item for the job.
