Use This Rubber Seal Conditioner To Prevent RV Slide-Out Problems

This post was updated on March 15th, 2024

Routine maintenance is an important part of RV ownership to help prevent problems while you’re on the road. One area that’s often overlooked is the rubber slide-out seals or gaskets which can become deteriorated and cracked over time if they are not lubricated regularly. Once these become damaged, it’s easy for water, cold air, and mice or bugs to get inside your rig.

The brand 3-In-One recently introduced a Rubber Seal Conditioner that will help keep your RV’s rubber seals as good as new. It can also be used on the rubber seals on windows, compartments, and doors, as well as in boats, cars, and other vehicles.

Unlike their previous two products, the Rubber Seal Conditioner is the only formula that will also protect your RV from damaging UV rays, which can cause your rubber seals to fade and crack after a long summer in the sun.

“You wouldn’t leave your sunscreen at home when going on vacation, and RV owners shouldn’t hit the open road without the UV protection in the new 3-IN-ONE RVcare Rubber Seal Conditioner,” The senior vice president and USA general manager of their parent WD-40 company, Patricia Olsem, shared in a recent press release. “The very sun RVers seek can cause rubber seals to crack and fade. Rubber Seal Conditioner protects against UV rays thereby helping to extend the life of rubber slide-outs and other seals, which means RV owners can avoid expensive visits to an RV mechanic.”

Each 3-In-One can comes with an attached straw for easy spraying. Flip the straw up for a more direct stream or flip it down for wide coverage. Use it regularly once a month or every couple of months for the best results. The Rubber Seal Conditioner, as well as their Window and Slide-Out lubes, are readily available on Amazon and in stores like Walmart nationwide.
