Stumbled on to a Couple of Things/Ideas This Winter

Question

1. Camping World was offering one year membership in Good Sams if you could produce a Military ID. Active or Retired

2. My camper door latch always seems to need lube on the bolt so it will close easier when the bolt hits the striker plate. Of all the things I tried for lube, nothing beats PAM. Spray a shot on your finger and rub it on the bolt surface that hits the striker plate.

:h But that 1 1/2 hour wait in line to get propane in SC didn't "learn" me much.

PAM also works well in the wheel wells if you expect to go through mud

PAM also works if you have rug rats with toy trucks etc. that the axles squeal on, just spray the axle, and if the kids get it on their fingers it won't hurt them.

Wow! and in a real pinch, you can just wipe the door hinge and smear it on your frying pan!  Wow! I've always been an advocate of having items in my camper that can be used for more than a single function! I think I'm going to spray everything now, so I'm prepared for the next time I forget cooking oil!  Will it work on the ball of your hitch too!  (yummy!)  :)

Pam is nothing more than light cooking oil and propellant.  Sure it will work, but so does WD40 or any of the other spray lubricants found in Auto parts stores.  The big problem with all of them is besides the greasy residual left is they all will attract dirt.  Which eventually you will have to clean up.  I personally like my dry lubricants much better thank you.
