Slide Lubrication ???

Anyone lubricate their slide ? Seems like something that should be done ? We have had our 2015 since new but see nothing to lube except these tracks and i presume some kind of pinion engages them so may not be good to lube ?????

I spray them with the dry lube spray made for slides. I cover the whole track.

Those look like Lippert Schwintek....and if it is, Lippert says that there is only one lubricant to use on those...CRC Power Lube Industrial High Performance Lubrication with PTFE. It's in a spray can and here is a link for it on Amazon...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P1E7ZS...v_ov_lig_dp_it

And here is a video from Lippert that shows you exactly how to do it....

It looks like you have the same Schwintek/Lippert In Wall slide system I have. Don't ever put any lubrication on the slide wall rails that isn't the part that needs to be lubricated. If you lubricate that upper and lower slide bars it could cause problems for your V Rollers and toothed gear. Schwintek/Lippert advises only lubricate Coupler and Gibb. It really only needs to be lubricated when it starts squeaking. I try and lubricate mine as part of my dewinterization process. I've attached so PDFs I've collected to help me. There are also several YouTube videos from Schwintek/Lippert on the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting their In Wall Slide.
