The SlimRack provides added comfort and space for RVs. With advanced features such as programmable positioning, a patented position-sensing technology, manufacturers can set ideal custom stop positions to meet different slide-out room specifications.
This heavy-duty flexible rail offers support and protection to vital slide-out plumbing, wiring and hoses under the slide room floor. The Flex Guard straightens during extension and bends in an arc as it contracts. This unique design prevents sagging during slide-out operation as well as unnatural bends that can lead to breakage. This gives you the room you need to cover the entire seals. Then extend the slide out to tackle the exterior seals. Just make sure you give the seals plenty of time to absorb the conditioner before moving your slide out.
Also, you can check out the variety of other products on the market that are made to keep your seals lubricated and protected from UV rays. Just about every slide out has a mechanism that uses rollers to move those sections of your RV in or out. Keeping them lubricated is essential for a smooth slide out operation.
The type of lubricant you use is also important as many manufacturers do not recommend using oily lubricants. Again, even for rollers, the dry lubricant is best as it will keep moisture dirt and grime away from your rollers. The one thing you should be aware of is that each manufacturer has different lubrication points.
Where those points are on your old RV will not be where they are at on your new RV unless you bought from the same manufacturer. Then if you are unsure about lubricating your rollers on your own, you should go to a qualified RV repair shop and have one of their technicians handle the task for you. But it is really not that difficult to do. You just spray at those lubricating points and let the rollers do the rest.
Choosing the right lubrication to lube your slide out rails can be difficult. Not only are there a lot of lubricants to choose from, some manufacturers do not recommend most of them. For Lippert, they say that they recommend only the CRC power lube in the green can.
That product may not be available everywhere and you may have to go on a little treasure hunt to find it. The people at Thor said that they do not recommend any lubricant and not use any lube at all. Some people ignore that advice to help keep their slide outs working and in top condition.
You have to be careful about recommendations or the lack of them. There may be some ulterior motive behind what the repair shops and dealers say. Also, if you start to hear a little squeak in your rails as they move, it would be a good idea to find a little spray lubricant and give your gears and rollers a nice little blast of lubricant.
That will cut the squeak out and let you enjoy your RV more. To handle the lubricating of your RV slide out windows there are two good lubricants to use. One is a silicone spray which can help your slide out windows slide by nice and easy. The other is a dry lubricant which will protect your windows as they move in and out. There is also a product called Slipit which comes in a spray and a paste. With our extensive inventory of windshields and side windows, we can accommodate all makes and models of RVs, ensuring prompt service and delivery.
We also offer RV windshield and window replacement, custom glass backsplashes and decorative accents. Our Radius Awning Window Series features a large mounting flange for easy installation, strong zinc or steel hardware, sloped sills for improved water drainage, and nylon-reinforced vinyl seals.
This classic awning window has been an industry standard for years. With multiple window options, we have a style that can meet any design requirement. Our attractive awning windows give any RV an instant facelift, and weather-enforced vinyl seals help keep the RV's interior dry, no matter the environment. LCI awning windows are available in full, side and picture egress windows.
The product is also versatile enough to be useful for tires. It is like applying a tire black, only better. The seals on your windows and doors can also benefit from the conditioning properties of the Thetford.
The Thetford is a great product to use on the slideout of modern RVs. It takes care of your rubber seals like no other product can. Pros Unique formulation, especially for rubber seals Conditions and reinforces the integrity of seals Features UV protection technology, making it resistant to drying and cracking The multifunction formulation for greater versatility Easy to apply Cons Not as great for a door seal that gets in contact with a carpet 2.
Camco Slide Out Lube. One of the most common indicators of a slideout not functioning correctly is the presence of squeals or squeaks. You know that there is a problem with the tracks. The noise is often due to friction.
You do not have to endure such a nuisance or keep on subjecting other campers with that annoying noise. It reduces friction between the rollers and the rail. You will notice the vast difference in terms of noise reduction the moment you operate it.
The protective film that the Camco produces also guards your gears, rails, and other metal parts against rust or any other type of oxidation.
This product also has exceptional resistance against salts. Even if you park your motorhome where the sea can spray it with salt water, you can bet that your system will stay safe.
This product is right for hours of constant exposure to salt spray. I just wish the straw came fully integrated with the nozzle. It is not a deal-breaker for me because the nozzle itself creates precision sprays, making it very convenient to apply. You can lubricate those sections or parts you want to protect more effortlessly. Overall, the Camco Lube should be a great partner of Thetford One protects the seals.
The other handles the metal components. Pros Eliminates noise when operating the slideout Good resistance against salts, good for hours of constant exposure to salt spray Convenient to use because of its precision spray Excellent resistance against rust and corrosion Cons There might be unnecessary drips due to the application technique Straw not built-in 3.
Its products are now of even higher quality because of the acquisition by WD Perfect for eliminating slideout issues, the RVCare delivers a powerful punch to make your RVing experience more worthwhile. This all-in-one solution takes care of the job that both the Thetford Premium and the Camco Lube do. It lubricates, cleans, conditions, and protects different surfaces, including metal components, plastic, and vinyl materials.
The formulation is useful in the elimination of squeals and squeaks. It also conditions the seals, which tend to dry and crack. Such a feature does not give dust or dirt a chance to cling to the surface, thus keeps the integrity of your slideout.
Unfortunately, you must be cautious in spraying the lube. Spray too much, and you risk creating blobs, which tend to run. Unlike other lubes that come with a removable straw, the smart straw of the RVCare is permanently fixed to the nozzle head. If you do not like to use the straw, you can easily fold it down and use the large nozzle instead.
This design gives the RVCare fantastic versatility. This lube is perfect for anyone who has a camper with a slideout feature. Never again will you have to worry about annoying other RVers at the campgrounds because of the noisy slideout. Pros Quick-drying formulation Safe to apply on different materials Useful in the elimination of squeals and squeaks Good corrosion and rust resistance Comes with a smart straw for more precise spraying Good control of the nozzle spray Cons There might be shipping issues Can be runny if spraying too much at once 4.
Motorhome owners want only the best products for their vehicles. The industrial formulation makes it the ideal solution for protecting the different components of the slideout system.
From bearings and gears to linkages, chains, cables, and motors, the Power Lube offers your system exceptional protection. Hinges and rollers can benefit a lot, too. If it can handle the different components of heavy industrial machinery, it would be a cinch taking the load of your slideout system. CRC Power Lube surprises me with the addition of a safety data sheet on its label.
Very few companies do that. It gives customers an idea of the safety profile of the product they are using. Most product descriptions only point to a website to check their safety data. You will drive your RV with peace of mind, knowing you are using a safe product. It has one of the most durable and most effective protective agents in the market. This product contains PTFE, which helps reduce friction and prolong the service life of your slideout.
This can easily get lost if you happen to have temporary amnesia. It is the delivery service that is taking the brunt of customer complaints. The Thetford is the trustworthy partner of the Thetford Premium. It takes care of the non-rubber components of the slideout of RVs, ensuring their optimum functionality.
Its primary purpose is to lubricate and protect the metal surfaces of slideout systems. The formulation leaves a protective layer on the gears and rails of slideouts to reduce friction.
Such a formulation allows you to operate your RV slideout more quietly. Like other multipurpose lubricants, the Thetford is usable on several items, such as door hinges, rollers, brake parts, and other metal components.
It is versatile enough to work even on boats and other marine vessels and equipment. The unique formulation can even repel moisture. It creates an impenetrable barrier between the metal surface and the outside environment. This translates to better protection against rust and other forms of metal oxidation. The Thetford comes in a ounce canister. However, I have seen ounce products with the same price or even a bit less expensive than this lube.
Budget-conscious folks may find the price difference a little off-putting, especially since this one is a multipurpose lubricant. I also wish Thetford included a straw with the canister. This can make spraying over relatively small areas more efficient. There are instances when you only want to spray a nut or a bolt. Not having a straw can lead to unnecessary waste. I like the Thetford Premium if I only want to lubricate and protect the metal components.
It is versatile, functional, and very convenient to use. It ensures a noiseless operation of the RV slideout system. Pros Comes with quick-drying formulation for mess-free application Multipurpose lubricant for versatility Eliminates squeaks and squeals High-pressure system for superior convenience Good protective capabilities Cons A little pricey compared to products with a similar net weight There is no straw with the canister 6. Kwikee KwikLube. The KwikLube is a camper slide out lubricant that is versatile enough that you can use it for other applications.
It is among those products with a multipurpose formulation in a convenient, easy-to-spray canister. If your primary problem with your slideout is the annoying noise whenever you operate it, KwikLube has your back. A quick spray of this lube can minimize, if not eliminate, all the nasty and ear-piercing squeaks and squeals. It can eliminate unwanted slideout noise hinges due to its special formulation. Kwikee features a unique blend of chemicals to minimize friction between two opposing metal surfaces.
The result? Less frequent squeaks and squeals, if not their total absence. Other than slideout components, you can also use it on your bicycle. If you notice the door and window latches and hinges to have a funny sound whenever you open or close them, a quick spray of KwikLube should do the trick. Honestly, there is very little that the KwikLube cannot do. Perhaps the only materials that it cannot protect is rubber and leather. Dolly wheels, casters, and bearings are sure to function optimally with a generous application of this lube.
