Absolutely! Lubricating is important. Lubricating these items are important for me. Do you have any other things that you keep lubricating? I like to see feedback from others to see what they are lubricating.
Thanks for your video. I'm familiar with using a silicone spray on the slide-out seals. I don't usually open my windows, but I can see where it is beneficial to lube the window tracks. Door hinges.....that was the first item I replaced on my RV. Friction hinges - I hate them and they are gone now. Replaced with non-friction hinges.
Funny you talk about the friction hinges. I really did not like them either. I have to be more diligent on making sure wind doesnt catch them but the squeaking and flexing ofthe frme is gone now.
Wow, thank you for this information. I am new RVer. I just went through a year and 1/2 of hell with my first brand new 32 ft RV. It was too big for me to handle when traveling alone and lots of problems. Also, I had horrible customer service from the dealer. So, now I have down sized to to a Thor Vegas 24.1 RV. Which of course, I bought from a different dealer. Wow, what a difference a good dealer can be. Anyway, I now know I need to do some maintenance myself to save money, time and frustration. So, I bought the products you recommended and I will begin to take care of my new RV. Hopefully, I won't have the problems I had on my last one. I subscribed and hope to learn more from you.
This is great but bad news all at the same time. I am glad that you were able to learn something. Looking forward to your comment on more videos. Thank you.
I use the 3 in 1 stuff except for the slide. My slide is a lippert and the stated to use CRC power lube with PFTS. Another thing I do is use the Rubber Protectant on the seals around the entry door and the storage compartments.
I use 303 witch is a much better product when it comes seals. Also it works great on your tires to keep them fresh and prevent dry rot. Tires will dry rot before you use them up. So I spray them once a month. Works great on the slides& doors etc.
I have recently had done the same thing with my axels. Wild part is that I do not think that the factory put much grease in the axels. It took a few tubes to fill the axel cavity.
Missing a major grease point.. hub bearings. Use a standard grease gun with any automotive grease pop the center rubber cap off and inside center should be a grease zert. 2-3 pumps is all you really need. Also use the same grease on the screw threads on scissor jacks. From time to time I liquid wrench or wd40 the spring hangers to help stop squeaking
Hi Jason how are you doing? Great information as usual. I have been a 3 in 1 person for many years. It's all I ever used on my bicycle as a kid. Can't wait to try those products. Stay safe and well. Chief
I am excited for you. Its an awesome feeling for me when i first started. If you would like, leave me an email at IYOconnect@gmail.com with your name and a photo of you and your family with your RV and I will share it on the channels community page. Glad to see you stop by.
I’ve the same slides you do, I wipe my slider tracks and use a dry silicone lube. How long have you been using the 3 in 1 slider lube? I’ve been skeptical of trying the 3 in 1 on those tracks for dewar of gumming them up, even tho I wipe them out and clean them with a small brush.
I have used grease, ry lube and so on. The grease attracted to much dirt and grime. The dry lube doesnt last very long. To that end though. I went with a lithium dry lube spray. I have to apply more often but is way better than trying to clean off dirty grimy grease.
They have specific uses. The silicon is great for seals and stick on there longer. It doesn't come of as easy when it rains or baking in the sun. The Teflon dry lube comes out wet and dries to a powder. The Teflon is great for things like door locks, window tracks, curtain tracks. Typically dry lube is used on surfaces that will not get wet. Also dry lube does not leave an oily residue either. Hope this helps.
Yes I do lube them. It is a dry lube meaning that the lubricants liquid evaporates leaving behiind the dry lube. It does make a difference in smoothness and sounds better when I have cleaned it. I know that you said that they say that it isnt needed but in my experience, metal on metal running equipment need something to keep down wear and sticking. What are yoour thoughts?
Do you recommend for cleaning and lubricating the jack screws on the stabilizers? They are subject to grit and grime from the road and are used every time I park.
I use these exact sprays and they work great. Can’t have enough education on RV maintenance thank you.
Great to hear! You are so correct. Understanding how to take care of these things is very important and can save tons of money too
Always take the time to perform preventative maintenance. Great info!

Okay watching now! Hinges of the doors is a must. Our bathroom door squeaks. Rubber seal conditioner. We have some .. should actually put it ON.
The rubber seal lubrication really works. It lasts for a few weeks and then i have to do it again.
Great information on keeping things working and not wearing them out, thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Preventative maintaining is so important. Great tips. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!

I dry lube is great for metal parts as you stated. I never gave a thought to the door seal. Thanks for the thought.
We met at Thin blue lane livestream. Nice to meet you guys. Checking out your channel right now
Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you find the channel very helpful

Thats a great recommendation. Thanks
I need to watch this. Will comment after finishing the video. :)
Hope you like it!
Nice share my friend thank you
Thank you! Cheers!
I also lubricate my locks with 3 IN 1 lock lubricant.
Thats a great idea. Thanks
awning joints and struts and 4 support jacks and door and hitch locks, dry silicone spray.
I agree
I use marine grease for my axlles& used it on my hitch ball cause it is waterproof and not affected by water
I have recently had done the same thing with my axels. Wild part is that I do not think that the factory put much grease in the axels. It took a few tubes to fill the axel cavity.

You are right. Hub bearings are very important.
Awesome, great my friend👍👍👍😃....

That is reassuring to anyone who made read this comment. 3 in 1 products are worthy of the purchase in my opinion
Just getting started, know what to pick up at Walmart next time I’m out and about.
I am excited for you. Its an awesome feeling for me when i first started. If you would like, leave me an email at IYOconnect@gmail.com with your name and a photo of you and your family with your RV and I will share it on the channels community page. Glad to see you stop by.
What do you use on your stabilizer jacks the all thread
I use a teflon spray. It lasts a long time nad when I am ready to clean it, I use a rag, wipe it off and reapply
I’ve the same slides you do, I wipe my slider tracks and use a dry silicone lube. How long have you been using the 3 in 1 slider lube? I’ve been skeptical of trying the 3 in 1 on those tracks for dewar of gumming them up, even tho I wipe them out and clean them with a small brush.
I have been using the 3 in 1 since the beginning. Although I do not have anything to, I have not had any issues or appearance of degradation.
@@HowToRV Thankyou for the reply, look forward to seeing more of your videos.
What kind of lubricant do you use for the jacks?
I have used grease, ry lube and so on. The grease attracted to much dirt and grime. The dry lube doesnt last very long. To that end though. I went with a lithium dry lube spray. I have to apply more often but is way better than trying to clean off dirty grimy grease.
Thanks for the great info! What’s the difference between silicone and PTFE (Teflon) dry lubes… which is better? Thanks
They have specific uses. The silicon is great for seals and stick on there longer. It doesn't come of as easy when it rains or baking in the sun. The Teflon dry lube comes out wet and dries to a powder. The Teflon is great for things like door locks, window tracks, curtain tracks. Typically dry lube is used on surfaces that will not get wet. Also dry lube does not leave an oily residue either. Hope this helps.
So, you lube the Scwintek "S pattern" rail? I was lubing it also. But Schwintek says it isn't necessary.
Yes I do lube them. It is a dry lube meaning that the lubricants liquid evaporates leaving behiind the dry lube. It does make a difference in smoothness and sounds better when I have cleaned it. I know that you said that they say that it isnt needed but in my experience, metal on metal running equipment need something to keep down wear and sticking. What are yoour thoughts?
@@HowToRV That makes sense to me too. Why kind of dry lube do you use?
Gates for dump tanks?
Yes. I know plant of folks who add gate valve to their outlet connection for extra security.
Do you recommend for cleaning and lubricating the jack screws on the stabilizers? They are subject to grit and grime from the road and are used every time I park.
303 Aerospace on our TT
I will have to check them out.
"Do you use lubrication when you go out camping?" That's a loaded question there, sir.
I had to laugh. I do if I am going to be out for a couple of weeks and moving offer. Mostly dry line on the slide mechanisms.
Lubrication, not lubricated. Duh
Ok...Thanks for commenting
