Ours don't act well when they have been through dust while parked. Winds move dust that you may not see around at ground level.
When we were in La we had high winds much of the time. When we tried to retract the jacks they squeaked jerked and squawked and didn't want to come up. That and the awnings and everything else were misbehaving.
Crawled underneath and using silicone spray sprayed them down real well and wiped around the seal area with silicone soaked paper towels and then dry towels. Waited a bit to make sure it all evaporated to retract and all was well.
The manual confuses me. It said not to use grease, which makes sense but there are jerks at the seal area. Where we keep it greases them well now and wipes away any excess grease anywhere.
