Awning

[dolly17]

I have a carefree awning on my 2014 Melbourne and it makes a terrible sound when rolling it in or out. The arms seem to be binding in the rails. What is the best lubricant for this area ?.

[Grumpy]

It's probably the hydraulic cylinders, they are known to require lubrication. Use a dry silicone spray on the rods as it will not attract dirt. See if the solves the noise. Use it on the rails too.

X2 what Grumpy said.

Ours made a loud groaning on our Greyhawk when retracting and extending. Dry silicone on the rails quieted it down a little. After spraying the rods, the groaning was gone.
