Troubleshooting B and W Companion Slider that Makes Metallic Noise When Sliding
Question:
I have B and W sliding kit for my 5th wheel. When I need to get it to slide back on the 2 pipes it makes a terrible metal to metal sound. Is there a certain lube I can spray on these rails???

Hey Sue, so B and W does not require lubing the slider pipes of the Companion slider so it is odd yours is making a loud noise. I would check the sliders for dirt or damage and clean as needed. If you want to lube it though you'd want to use a white lithium grease like the part # L11354.
