Slide out maintenance

Just bought some Camco Slide out lube and Protectant to use and I just noticed that it contains petroleum distillates. I could swear that I read somewhere that using petroleum is no good on slideouts. Is this true or am I mistaken? I have a Forest River Wildwood 272 BH with one slide. Thanks.

    Do not use baby powder in the slide out mechanism. The Camco lube is designed for the gears and rails, not the rubber pieces. The petroleum distillates are fine for this application and are designed to ****** rust.


    LOL. The system won't let me use the "R" word to indicate "hinder" or "delay".
