Default slide out seal

I have spent all afternoon cleaning my 5ers roof and as it had not been done for 2 yrs you can guess how bad it was but now am sorting slide out and the black rubber seals down the side are sticking what do I put on them? and where do I put it please try and tell me a mix not a trade name as everything is called by another name here

Hi Lizz,

We use Camco's Rubber Seal Foaming Conditioner. It comes in a blue and yellow spray can and we spray it right on the slide seals we can reach. We've used it on all our previous RV's and our Super Nova. Keeps the seals supple and they seem to lay the right way if we keep them soft. We got the stuff at Camping World, but I'd think other RV places would have it too.

Darn! Hope you can find something. Liquid saddle soap? But that probably has petroleum and they say not to use that on rubber.

We use silicone spray, which I would assume you have in the UK. Charlie

Lizz,

I use a clear silicone spray lubricate on any side that I can get it on the seals. Can buy at most auto parts supply stores.
