Anybody have anything negative on this stuff? About to lube my slide rails. Went to Wally World. They had various dry lubes but the main ones were a Camco dry lube and a LW dry lube. The Camco - $9/bottle. The LW - $4/bottle. Just wanna make sure the extra $5 may have been worth it in the long run.

My mfr recommends no lube at all. Are you talking about the big under-slide rails?

My slide(s) mfg. also recommends no lube..........as in greaseJust wire brush rail teethBUT...Since beginning of 2007 I have been using a dry graphite lube spray after wire brushing the rail teeth down. Goes on wet/sticks then drys. Doesn't attract dirt/grim BUT will rub off SO Careful Where you spray it.Also use it on rear stabilizers pivot/contact areas and front landing gear inner and driven legs.I spray silicone on a clean rag and wipe down the hydraulic piston shaft.When FTng I would do the above monthly......past 2 yrs just bi-yearlyAlso would put talcum powder in a sock and wipe down slide out seals/wipers

Thanks; I need to check my book. Its a Jayco. Any maintenance forum or youtube video you see says to use a dry lube.Also for the rubber seals, I saw a manufacturer demo and they used silicone spray on a rag????

It's Polytetrafluoroethylene, essentially Teflon. I have used the dupont brand of this for years on my slide rails and gears. Never caused a problem.Lowe's has dropped the Dupont version so i bought the wd-40 version. Appears to be the same stuff. I noticed LW makes it with and without the for RV markings

So far have checked my main Jayco manual. No mention at all in regards to "how" to maintain them but that they are virtually "maintenance free". Need to see if I have another manual for the slides themselves, which I doubt.

We never put anything on our slide mechanisms. We used 303 on the rubber around the slides. No problem in 16 years.

Have Liquid Wrench dry lube and sprayed it on a squeaky bath room door hinge in my house. Sprayed it twice and squeak kept coming back. Used WD 40 once and the squeak is gone. So much for dry lube stuff.

I have been using the LW dry for years on the trailers slide rails, gears, 6pt leveling jacks, anything I don't want to attract road dirt (so basically anything external), without any issues and with good operation.

I use baby powder on the seals at least once a year. RV Geeks I use a pole to reach the center of the seals above the slides.
