Lube me up....

Question

Hi everyone. I just got everything ready for the summer and squirted some slider seal lubricant on my outside seals on the slide out and checked all the lights and yada yada yada to get ready for the summer.

Here is my question...what kinda of lube are we supposed to squirt on the slideout parts on the unit that move the room? Regular WD-40 work?

Thanks,
RC

Use a dry type lube and don't lube the hydraulic ram part just the rails with teeth and gearing.Good article on slide maintenance - http://blog.goodsamclub.com/2013/05/the-rv-doctor-correct-care-maintenance-of-your-rv-slideout/Cheers Ray

I use a dry lube called Slip Plate... I already have it on hand for my SuperGlide so for me I always have some handy... Never use a lube that can attract dirt and grime....Joe

WD 40 is not actually a lubricant it is for water displacement and rust prevention
