Best lube for updated slide out style steps?

Best lube for updated slide out style steps?

We have the after market slide out style double steps. I have been using silicone spray lube once in a while. Would white lithium or another lube be better?

I find the grease really gets gritty because it seems to be subject to road dust ... Maybe your coach doesn't have a dust, dirt problem.. mine sure does .. Silicon works for me !

We use a dry lube like this. 
Amazon.com : DuPont Teflon Non-Stick Dry-Film Lubricant Aerosol Spray, 10...

Rance suggested a dry lube of this type.  there are lots of choices.  Keep the tracks clean, lube every couple weeks.

I got a green grass like door mat at WalMart and cut it to fit on the back side of the steps and in front of the pass side front tire.  I attached it with several HD zip ties.  It has been there for four years now and dramatically reduces the road grit that gets on the steps.
