All windows are jalousie type. A few of them stick when trying to open them. Busted the torque operator (twice!) on the large window behind the couch. Have to either take the screen off and push the window panes until they pop open, or go outside and pull on the bottom of the panes.
OIL THEM! Most people don't think to oil all the moving parts of these jalousie windows. Oil the little crank thing also. Open and close them a few times to get the oil all through everything that moves and from there on, you should have no problems. They're the best windows for ventilation unlike the cheap crummy slider windows now used in most RVs.
The rubber seals do seem dry and stiff. Is there a way to adjust the windows, so that they do not stick, or are new seals in order? Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rubber seals? Any pictures we can see?
