Our kids and Grandkids live in San Antonio. We loved there 22 years before moving to Dallas. Gonna stay a couple of months before hitting the road again.

Problem solved!!!

I could not let it go, so I sprayed silicone spray where I could. I could probably have used something better, but I ran out of WD-40.
It runs much smoother now!

Fred,

That's amazing! Obviously, the silicone did something. And I don't think it's just the volume on my computer.

I'd be concerned about the lubricant attracting dirt, resulting in more noise and wear later. Not saying that will happen, but locksmiths warn against using WD40. They recommend a dry graphite powder.

You may be correct about the WD-40. I will be buying Boeshield T-9, which does not attract dust. But, for now, I am a Happy Camper!

A locksmith says WD-40 ruins locks and that, of course, is what everyone goes to first. Good if you don't happen to have it handy for such things.

Atwood Electric Tongue Jack Noises

Picked some Boeshield at Camping World outside of Columbus, Ohio.

Tongue jack is humming along perfectly!
