You know I have never thought about the bedroom slide, because it doesn't have have gearing like the large slide. I'll be thinking about it now as I'll be getting our unit ready for the season next week.

On the large slide I have had pretty good luck with the Slide Lube from CW. I also use it on the rear jacks as well. Are you using anything special?

Randy in service department told me to use wd-40 on the living room slide,I asked about bedroom slide & he said you didn't need to use anything because it's enclosed.

That is interesting since the instruction manuals from Lippert specifically state to NOT lube the slides as it attracts dirt and causes wear. I wonder who is right?

I use a little light lithium grease on the slides and jacks.

I was told to spray WD40 or some kind of spray lub onto the gears as someone is running the slide out. I bought a spray can of slide lube, but I can't remember what brand it is.

My manual says no lube. Be careful with wd40. It can actually clean & remove lubricant.
