Jacks getting sluggish
We have a 2005 Holiday Rambler Ambassador, 40' DP. Overall in very good condition, except that the jacks have recently begun to be quite sluggish on retracting. Going down is no problem. But coming...

Contacted the manufacturer, the owner recommended first cleaning the rams (the part that extends down) with Dupont Teflon spray. He said it's super-slick and, unlike ATF or WSD40, does not leave a residue which attracts dust/dirt. Highly recommended the stuff for many uses. He felt sure that would fix it, and if not, to call him back.
So, what brand Jacks????? NOT HWH as the owner of HWH would never talk to an owner. AND, HWH would never state to use any type piston lube. Doug
Oh yeah?

Notice that they state NO maintenance needed. That is for making sure you have NO dirt or debris on the silver piston. As someone who has installed/repaired HWH for over 30 years(and HWH factory trained), I stand by my statement. HWH jacks need no external lube and maintenance other than Kick Down HWH jacks. We are not talking about kick downs on this thread and the OP has refused to state what brand he has. Doug
