Today, we're gonna be checking out the Roadmaster LubeMaster heavy-duty RV silicone spray. So, this is going to be ideal for lubricating your tow bars, which is a really important thing to do. You know, you wanna make sure they're clean and properly lubricated. That way, you know, you're gonna get the best performance out of them. They're gonna last a lot longer, stay in better shape and be much easier to use. \r\n\r\nYou know, whenever you're doing your flat tow setup, the more streamlined it is, the easier it's going to be. You know, and having everything operates smoothly is gonna save you a little bit of time there. And a lot of times, believe it or not, you see this quite often. You know, we get a lot of questions, people asking about tow bar maintenance. You know, and just like anything mechanical, you know, if you maintain it, it's gonna work better.\r\n\r\nIt's just like a vehicle, you know what I mean If you neglect it, it's gonna give out on you. And the same holds true for a tow bar like this. So, you know, we see them come in quite often, actually. You know, a tow bar, they got a lot of miles on them. They really take a beating.\r\n\r\nThey're outside and everything else. And if you don't take care of it, eventually what can happen is the arms and the mechanisms and everything else become really hard to operate. Particularly, we see a lot of the arms here will just have so much stuff caked up on it and built up on it that you can hardly slide them in and out. And then when that happens, you know, it tears up your seals and your internal components. And then you're left with the choice, you know, do I replace some of the internal components A lot of times, you can get in there and a lot of stuff's messed up and then, you know, you end up having to get a new tow bar.\r\n\r\nSo, by doing a little bit of maintenance every now and again, it can really save you a lot of time and energy in the long run, whenever you're ready to actually use the tow bar. So, like anything, before you get to lubricating parts and everything like that, you wanna make sure they're clean. And what I would suggest doing is using the Roadmaster tow bar cleaner here. I've tried both of these products. And this tow bar cleaner works really good, believer or not. It is really strong stuff. And does a great job of getting your tow bar all shined up before you lubricate everything. So, what really separates this from a lot of other, you know, type of lubricants is the fact that it is a dry silicone. So, what that means is when you spray it out of the can and it goes on the surface, in a matter of seconds, it's gonna dry. 'Cause I know, personally, I would probably be tempted just to grab kinda your generic, you know, off-the-shelf brand or some type of lubricant and use that for the tow bar arms. The problem is they're not a dry type of silicone. So, what happens, when you spray that on, spray that other type of lubricant on, it doesn't really evaporate. When I say evaporate, like this, this is gonna leave behind a protective layer, okay, of lubricant. And the other ones, you spray it on there and it just stays wet. Well, the problem is with that, whenever something's wet and greasy, that actually is gonna attract dust and dirt and all kinds of different things. So, what's gonna happen, I'm gonna spray this on, hopefully we can get a good shot of it here. But when I spray this on, you're gonna see the wet part evaporate in a matter of seconds. So, really layer it on there. And just after a few seconds, it evaporates. But if you feel it, you can feel that it's slick and that there's a film on it. So, that's gonna be the main difference between this and some other, you know, generic, off-the-shelf-type of lubricants. So, I feel like we covered, you know, how is this gonna work with the tow bar and everything else like that. And here in a minute, you know, I'll show you actually how to clean and properly lubricate a tow bar. So, if that's something you're interested in, stick around, check that out. But with that said, though, you know, this isn't a, you know, this isn't just for tow bars. This spray has a lot of different uses. You can use it for a ton of different things. So, you know, having a can of this laying around in the RV, it's kinda just a good general purpose spray as well. You know, say if you got a squeaky step going into the door, go and spray some on it. A awning that might be getting stuck or hung up a little bit, it'll work for that. You know, door hinge","thumbnailUrl":["https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tBrIle2TAhU\/default.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tBrIle2TAhU\/mqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tBrIle2TAhU\/hqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tBrIle2TAhU\/sddefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tBrIle2TAhU\/maxresdefault.jpg"],"uploadDate":"2021-11-02T19:19:57+00:00","duration":"PT12M2S","embedUrl":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tBrIle2TAhU","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCSE2Tcko-7NQKXwIsRKMELw#Organization","url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCSE2Tcko-7NQKXwIsRKMELw","name":"etrailer","description":"Headed to the toughest job or your dream vacation spot?

Some even have multiple ones, especially if it\u2019s a larger towable like a fifth wheel or a Class A, B, or C RV self-powered RV.RV Emergency Exit Window Fell OffWhile you might be concerned about opening the RV emergency window in case it falls off its hinges, this is rarely the case.Why is this? Because emergency windows are fitted with either a flip-type hinge design or a window slide mechanism.Due to this design, the window either opens out and up rotating at a 90-degrees angle upwards, or the windowpane may slide across (less likely) to reveal an opening.Neither of the above scenarios when considering how to open a window from the outside suggests the RV emergency window will just fall out.Nevertheless, some RVers think it will! But it\u2019s more indicative of a faulty window or a decayed window frame; it\u2019s certainly not part of the emergency window feature for most RVs because broken window glass on the ground only creates a new danger for your feet!Read Also: Showering in an RVHow to Open RV Windows?With an older RV emergency window, you\u2019ll need a Phillips Head screwdriver. If asking how to open camper windows or how to open a trailer window from the outside, then the process is much the same.Obviously, only do this either if you own the recreational vehicle, or you\u2019ve been asked by a friend because they\u2019ve locked themselves out of theirs! The screwdriver is used to lever the window until it pops open. However, a seal is made between the window and the interior frame often using a rubber strip.The rubber strip can become stuck from the summer heat or cold weather and refuse to budge!If you were on the inside, then using a reliable silicone spray (affiliate link) all around the inside lip would help ease this problem, but that likely won\u2019t help from the outside.https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tBrIle2TAhUVideo can\u2019t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: etrailer | The Low-Down on the Roadmaster LubeMaster Dry Silicone Spray (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tBrIle2TAhU)Roadmaster 747 LubeMaster Silicone SprayCheck at Amazon\u24d8 If you click this link and make a purchase, we earn a commission at no additional cost to you.Bear in mind that if you\u2019re going to try this, it will leave scratches on the window frame, its surrounding area, and possibly the window itself when accessing the RV\u2019s emergency window in this way.It\u2019s usually not advisable and risks damaging your home on wheels.Again, if you\u2019re helping out a friend who\u2019s gotten locked out, warn them about the likelihood of window frame scratches.

Add a little at first and try the lock but don\u2019t force it.If that isn\u2019t enough, add more and repeatedly test to see if it\u2019s helping the lock to loosen up or not.https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QZHoZlPd5pMVideo can\u2019t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: WD-40\u00ae Smart Straw\u00ae (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QZHoZlPd5pM)WD-40 \u2013 Multi-Use with Smart Straw Sprays (8 OZ \u2013 6 pack)Check at Amazon\u24d8 If you click this link and make a purchase, we earn a commission at no additional cost to you.May you have other RV door lock issues?
