Don't use silicone- per HWH, use only WD40-

Our RV has PowerGear Leveling Jacks. Their manual recommends a Silicone Lubricant https://www.lci1.com/assets/content/support/manuals/pg-82-L0356.pdf. WD-40 is known for evaporating and leaving behind a sticky, waxy residue which attracts dust and dirt. Wouldn't want that on a Jack Rod. But I agree, proper lubricating would make sense.
