gmoreno Report post Posted April 2, 2012 Hey everyone: What are you guys recommending for slideout lube and general-purpose lube that does not attract dirt, yet repels water? Thanks! Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zorro2kita Report post Posted April 2, 2012 I just used Boeshield T-9 sold at West Marine and other outlets - pricey at $17-18 per spray can but it WORKS !! I just purchased a 2003 Pace Arrow that was not driven or maintained for several years - the 2 rear jacks would not retract all the way - sprayed them with this product and now they retract - also good for slides, awnings, Kwikee steps, etc. Do a google search to read up on it - It worked for me !!

wdterry Report post Posted May 3, 2012 Gunk sells a graphite spray with a solvent carrier. The solvent evaporates and leaves a nice graphic lube. Doesn't attract dirt.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OkieDave Report post Posted May 3, 2012 HWH recommends using WD-40. Check this link. http://www.winnebagoind.com/resources/service/pdfs/2010-08%20Care%20of%20HWH%20Jacks.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batsome Report post Posted August 14, 2012 I have a 2008 38P Pace Arrow. I have no manual for my leveler jacks. Where can I find a manual online? Right rear jack won't extend fully and am at a loss on how to fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Batsome, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. You need to tell us what brand and model jack you have for us to be of service. Have you Googled the brand an checked their website or an on-line manual? Another alternative is to call them for troubleshooting help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jc21014 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 We use this stuff on our slides, steps, hinges, towbar, etc. Can be bought at Wally World and most auto parts stores. http://www.jigaloo.com/us/e_products_jigaloo.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
den72032 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Jigaloo looks like a great product, I'm going to get a can and try it out. I've been using dry graphite spray but seems to wear off fast. Thanks for your post jc21014 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

five Report post Posted August 16, 2012 HWH recommends using WD-40. Check this link.http://www.winnebagoind.com/resources/service/pdfs/2010-08%20Care%20of%20HWH%20Jacks.pdf WD 40 is good for loosening nuts, bolts, etc. However, as a lubricant, it attracks crud, road grime, dirt and everything else on the road which defeats it's purpose. I'm surprised HWH still recommends it. We have a sailboat and were advised to use dry lube for all moving parts...which makes sense for MHs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
