Maintaining rubber slide out seals


Hi all, we have 5th wheeler and am seeking advice on what to use on my rubber slide out seals to protect from drying out and perishing. Would appreciate anyone with slide outs that could advise on a product..

i would use divers silicone as that is made to use on rubber and won't damage the seals

Many thanks Pete, very quick reply and appreciate that. Will get some divers grease onto them now... Safe travels to you both.

I have used Dry lube sticks, simply run them up the seals before closing the slide out but remember to thoroughly clean it off the next time you use it to prevent gunk and dirt from sticking. Repeat when closing next time.

I've used Armorall, silicon spray and lanolin, all work fine but the lanolin did attract some dust. Armorall is silicon based as is divers grease or spray.
