I have a new travel trailer with 2 slide-outs. One of them makes a lot of noise when I move it in or out. Is there areas that need lubrication? If so what should I use so to not attrach dirt and cause problems?

The slide room does require cleaning and lubrication. I like to use a silicone spray so there is no worry about staining carpets or attracting dirt as an oil based lubricant would cause. Spray all slide room seals around the room. Some rooms have an outside and an inside seal. Be sure to check from inside with the room open 1/2 way. Also clean the bottom of the floor of the room. Spray a rag with the silicone and wipe down the bottom of the room after cleaning. Also when the room is 1/2 open pull the gasket down under the room and clean and lubricate rollers and/or glide strips.
