We have a mach 15 qnd our fan comes on sometimes and random..we currently purchased and only using our house wall socket 15amps...but it also seems tight qnd not as free flowing as yours when you spin in...what lube would you recommend to maybe get it free rolling again..or any idea..please help..
Oh man…one of the biggest debates/questions in the industry. So here’s the deal awhile back there was a video of tech spraying the rollers on the inside of a Schwintek with CRC Power Lube and everybody has been doing the same since including me. Well turns out that video was old and it was a Class A Motorhome with a different style Schwintek slide and rollers/gimble. Here is the official answer I found in a discussion recently online. 👇🏼 If you look at the video they are working on a motorized unit. A motorized unit does require some lubrication of what they call the gib. The reason this is needed is because when you are driving down the road and you have the slide in and it's right behind your head there is a squeaking noise that really irritates people. So lippert and the manufacturers of motorized units suggest lubricating the gibbs. I apologize if you were given incorrect information but the best thing I can tell you to do is keep the tracks clean. Wash them periodically with a mild detergent like Dawn hot water with a fingernail scrub brush to clean all of the debris out of the tracks. Rinse them clean, and then let them dry. If there is any lubrication needed you can spray a small amount of CRC power lube with Teflon on the V roller. Each Schwinn text system will have four V rollers. These are small nylon rollers that are inside behind the seal on the bottom of the track. They are called a v roller because when you feel it it is in the shape of a v. So basically I just wash it now, keep it clean,,but let’s be honest Lube will not hurt anything either. I would just use Boeshield T-9 if I lube anything. Hope all of this helps.
Can someone help me with my question previously asked....our coleman mach ac unit fan seems to be tighter than everyone elses...it is a 06 model we are just learning all this stuff...😂when we try and start it doesnt wanna kick fan..we are using a 15amp wall socket and a 25ft power cord too...what will be good spray to lube and free that up so itll spin freely
Might because you are plugged into 15amp and it’s not adequate to start the ac unit up properly. You can run one AC unit on a 15amp wall socket but not best idea. If you are make sure it’s a 10 Gauge Extension Cord. You just cannot use any old extension cord. If the extension cord is not a heavy enough gauge it can overheat and cause a fire or prevent the proper amount of voltage or amps from reaching your RV, which can damage the AC. As far as lube goes I’ve never had to lube an AC fan and you really shouldn’t have to but you could try the Boeshield T-9.
In response to your statement, "Get out there. Start your full time R.V. adventure because? Why Wait?" I'm trying, I'm trying! lol Thanks to your videos, I'm still collecting all of my products & trying to cramp them all in for the last Amazon Prime Day! I 'have' been waiting far too long.
Awesome love to hear it! Listen you can never be totally prepared. Get out there and you’ll find things still need adjusting or changing but you’ll make it work. Reach out anytime and we will try to help best we can.
I really like your content. Anyhow, we are just finishing 5 months in Galveston TX. Do you have a suggestion for rust /corrosion removal and what to put on so it looks new again. Our rv is only 1 year old now.
Thanks! Check out this video below, it’s my Boeshield T-9 video. Around the 4:30 mark I talk about their Rust Free product and show how it works at removing rust. Also below is a link to the product. Pretty good stuff 👍🏼 th-cam.com/video/BEp-JfODrIg/w-d-xo.html Boeshield Rust Free: amzn.to/3o3EsUA
Hey! Nice meeting you at Merciers! I’ve been using T-9 Boshield for years on my boat and now my 5th Wheel. I’ll have to try the others that you’ve recommended.
Same here, enjoyed talking to you guys! Yeah, lots of my engineers on my tugboats swear by the Boeshield as well. Maybe we’ll see you around Waterside this week if we get back over there. 👍🏼
We have been using 303 for over 20 years. We used to be a dive master, and I use that on all my inflatable‘s and my dive equipment. Works VERY GOOD. Some friends in the marine industries told me about it.
Thank you for this video. As spring brings pollen and camping trips begin I’ve been looking for cleaning solutions. I have not used these products yet but I’ll be ordering some of them real soon.
Nope, just always used 303 UV protectant. Grand Design only says to use baby powder in a sock to keep them maintained and that’s it. Guess they are suppose to be treated and won’t fade or crack but I figured it won’t hurt. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I am a newbie and overwhelmed with what products to use. This was a great video. I see you also use 'CRC Power Lube Industrial High Performance Lubricant with PTFE', how does this differ from the Boeshielod?
Well to break it down this link to Boeshield says it all….boeshield.com/why-boeshield-2/ CRC is great too for lubing moving parts but that’s pretty much where it stops, it’s not a cleaner, rust and corrosion protectant like Boeshield. Just nice not caring as many products if I can use one to cover all basis. You can also check out my Boeshield T-9 video to learn more. th-cam.com/video/BEp-JfODrIg/w-d-xo.html👍🏼 Thanks for watching
Thanks for the videos. Really appreciate you helping new people like myself. Been living on the road for work for almost 3 years now in a camper and greatly appreciate the help!!
Sure thing! I’m glad it’s helped out. That’s how all of this started just by me posting helpful answers on Facebook to people then I tried making helpful TH-cam videos. Just glad it’s reaching people and helping out. 👍🏼👍🏼Appreciate you watching.
@@WhyWait everything you post helps. I am a big fan of yours and am looking and buying more of the products you suggest. Again thank you for everything you do.
Totally. You can also use it on your vehicles. Good stuff. Let the product do the work, spray it on or just use it in a bucket. Wait a few minutes the lightly scrub if even necessary. Checkout the full wash video if you are curious about it and thanks for watching. th-cam.com/video/ZD3Rbqkp0c4/w-d-xo.html

Great video. What do you use on your schwintek slide ?

@@WhyWait thank you so much..appreciate your feedback..think our motor is going out honestly..
Is there anything that you can put on the outside of the camper that would help make removing bugs stains after you pull it down the road?
I’m not sure 🤔 Good question. Nothing I’ve ever heard or seen but there could possibly be something out there to help with that.
We spray Johnson’s baby oil on the front cap prior to travelling. Virtually all bugs just wipe off. I am told that Pam cooking spray works too.
Blasters lanolin based surface shield. Repair Geek has been testing these (for rust) for years now.
I'm not sure you have enough T-9 😂 Love the products, thanks! Just added Gabe's to our list. Take care - Michelle & Brian
Hahaha stop on by guys and I’ll share some! Always handing some out to people I meet who are curious about it. Thanks for watching as always 👍🏼

You should check out P&S Absolute Rinseless wash. Keep that truck and RV clean with a bucket of water.
Sounds pretty cool. I’ll look at it 👍🏼

Sure thing. Cleaning with Gabe’s Pride is nice and easy and works great. Just knocked the pollen off mine too!
Like you I've been using 303 since our first RV back in 1999. Great product.
Right on! Only downside I see sometimes from it is after a rain it streaks down on my vehicle sometimes which is noticeable. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Do you use a rubber seal conditioner on your slide out seals or do you just use the 303? Thanks, love the videos!
Nope, just always used 303 UV protectant. Grand Design only says to use baby powder in a sock to keep them maintained and that’s it. Guess they are suppose to be treated and won’t fade or crack but I figured it won’t hurt. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
