Title: Awning lubrication?
Post by: "Irish" on June 04, 2022, 11:12:17 am
When we open out Zip Dee awnings the screeching is worse than a cat fight, I cannot find any any mention of annual lubrication in the archives . Should I have been putting oil on the ends of the roller shafts?

Try some dry teflon spray,oil will attract dirt,also try calling Zip Dee.

An easy fix, I had the same issue.

My good friend Hans suggested this and it worked like magic

Thank you both
Had some dry silicone lube and gave them all a spray, now they operate silently!
No more embarrassing moments in the campground.
