Slide hydraulic cylinder
I recently replaced the cylinder rod due to rust spots in the chrome, resulting in the chrome peeling. We went to Camper Clinic in Rockport, TX this morning, and I was shocked to see all the cylinder rods on the lot had rust. The chrome is so thin on these rods.
I was going to put one of those plastic shower rod covers on the rod, but couldn't find one here. So, I picked up some 3/4" pipe insulation and sprayed the rod with WD40, split the insulation and installed over the rod. Hopefully this will protect it to some extent. (I want to spray it with LPS 3, but I'll have to find that first.)
If anyone has better ideas, please share them, as I sure don't want to replace the rod again.
