Bay handles sticking
I have a 2012 Winnebago Journey. The handles to the bays are starting to stick and getting hard to open. Does anyone have an idea where to lubricate them. Thanks.
Forum Discussion
- Is it a lubrication issue or a latch adjustment issue? I have to periodically adjust the latches, probably due to flexing of the body.

silicone spray. Let it dry after application. Also spray the catches where they engage the locks.- Do NOT use anything that has 'graphite' in it.
I did and ended up with huge black streaks all over my MH.
Buy a can of 100% Pure Silicone Spray.
Sometimes Hard to find but ACE and Do-It-Best usually carries it.
Beware though, read the entire label a lot of the cans labeled Silicone STILL add graphite to it.
Just spray it on the back side where the screw/washer is seems thats where they start hanging up. - silicone spray. Let it dry after application. Also spray the catches where they engage the locks.
- Could try dry lube. Open door pull on latch and spray into the latch area. Might need to take apart and clean if gunked up.
