Lubricant for slideout and front landing gear

Post by TC on Mon Jun 23, 2008 8:37 pm

Anyone have a recommendation on a lubricant for the slideout mechanism AND the front landing gear?

TC,

I use a dry lubricant, similar to a chain lubricant. You can spray it out of a can, but soon after contact, it dries so it doesn't attract dust/dirt.

I had a problem with the livingroom slide dying about halfway in. Took it back to the dealer under warrantee and they cleaned slide mechanism and treated it with an aerosol dry lubricant. I bought a can in their store and clean and treat the mechanism about twice a year. The problem hasn't repeated itself. Mark's on the right track. sunny

Mine was squeeking when I would run it in/out. After setting up at a CG, I got out the WD-40 and hosed everything down. It had 5 days to dry up.

No more noise.

I put lube on mine and it still stopped before getting all the way in... Landing gear also.

But I do use the dry lube on it.
