Good Evening All,
In a recent discussion, I was told by a Holiday Rambler factory tech that they did not recommend the use of silicone or petroleum based products on seals for their products.
He agreed that - as most of us have been warned - that petroleum based products break down the rubber. He also said that most "black" rubber type seals - those most often used to seal around slides - are manufactured with a UV inhibitor. According to him, silicone based products cause this UV inhibitor to loose its effectiveness.
Further research on the Internet has led me to the product "303 Aerospace Protectant" which has been mentioned a number of times in other threads on the site. It contains neither silicone nor is petroleum based.
According to its label, it can be effectively used on tires and slide seals.
