What?????

The rust, the dust particles, the dirt, and the snow are but some of the elements that accumulate on some components of the slide-out. When such elements mix and are untouched for a long time, a build-up of some sort occurs that causes slide-outs to get stuck. The Slide-Out Lubricant for Slide-Out from SMART STRAW is the right choice and can help you keep your rig’s retracting system in top shape. It reduces the friction that occurs when a build-up of dirt or corrosion occurs in the window. It is also able to take on such debris and make it easier for you to clean it out of the problematic areas.]]> Wed, 25 May 2022 07:04:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14021&PID=148237#148237 Slide out : Hello and welcome Debbie!

Hello and welcome Debbie! I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories with your R-Pod 189. We have the 179 and have really enjoyed it.

As for the slide-out, the Internet is your friend. Two things to take care of are to treat the rubber with a product like Protect-All Rubber Seal Conditioner and to lube the track with a good quality spray lubricant. Do that, and you will be fine.

Just purchase a 2020 189    Very excited.
First of many questions: I don’t seem to have papers for the care and upkeep of the slider.
Are there any specifics I need to know?
Thanks ]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2020 11:39:24 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14021&PID=136305#136305
