I have the same problem opening our windows. The kitchen window takes 2 hands and extremely hard to open. Would silicone spray in the window tracks work? If I can remember to put some in the trailer to give it a try. None of the slide windows open easily.

Ski wax or some other such product applied with a Q-Tip?

We opted to get faux wood blinds, and have never been happier that we did. Got them from Blinds.com Easy to clean and open. They are 2" vertical pieces, it took Seven of them for the front room and dinning room areas.

Randy-- I think they are talking about the windows themselves and not the blinds. If any of you are coming to the Fall Rally that might be a good question to ask the Keystone reps and techs when we get a chance to talk to them. If none of you are going let me know and I'll bring up the subject to them while we're there ! Just let me know!

I would try a silicon spray vice WD40 for longer ease of use.

What unit, or what style windows do you have? All of our windows are crank out awning style or the simple push out handle style. On these two styles there really are no tracks or anything to lubricate.

I used silicone spray on mine in the tracks. Works good. Occasionally need to reapply. Jim
