Electric Stabilizers Lubrication

We've had some issues with the electric stabilizers on our 2018 Melbourne purchased in September. Initially they worked, but made a very loud squeaking noise when extending. Then the passenger side stabilized did not extend. Then I sprayed WD-40 on the stabilizers and both stabilizers extended.
The RV has been sitting for about a month now and we are hoping to head out for a trip soon. What lubricant(s) should I use before heading out? I am thinking WD-40 with white lithium grease sprayed on next...

I would recommend a dry lube.

white-lithium attracts more dirt, just the standard WD-40 is better, even if you have to do it more often.

I don’t remember the brand but the Equalizer Systems manual you got with the rig is very specific. If you don’t have one I am sure they have it on their website. WD40 I believe was mentioned by name but as what not to use.

I believe this is what is recommended by ES.
