Revolution hitch

My 5th wheel has the revolution hitch, the one which rotates under the 5th wheel rather than over the pickup bed. Lately it has been making some awful noises. What has been your experience with this hitch? It has me worried! Is there any maintenance that has to be done?

Mine has creaked and groaned since the first time I hooked up to it at the dealer.
But honestly it got better the more we towed it.
We have about 15,000 miles on ours now and it is relatively quiet compared to how it was when it was new.

There is some maintenance for them, but it won't quiet them down much.
From what we have seen, everyone we see in the campground does groan more than a pin.
