<p>We use rv antifreeze in a spray bottle for all of our discharge and intake caps. it might be an option for you</p>

<p>when i was in the navy we used silicone grease as it will not harm the seals only a thin film is needed</p>
<p>and we cruised the arctic a few times</p>
<p>its also great for preventing corrosion</p>

<p>Well up in the northwest corner of Vermont and I learned this from a article about the Fairbanks, Alaska fire Dept. that they used to spray biodegradable anti freeze. In they late fall I would spray all suction hose couplings, intake and discharge caps, ball valves. It really worked good on the Kocheck couplings as a lubricant both summer and winter. Now something else that might work is W-D 40 it dispersess water.</p>

Petroleum jelly works well for us. Coat the weather stripping around the doors of the dump valves and the Cams and interior of the camlock fittings.

That last thunderstorm dropped 5cm of water in four hours. 19 wildfires, house fires and automatic calls.

I didn't think about the cabin lid providing protection from the sun! Very nice.<br />
<br />
28-30 is great temperature. I'm quite happy when it's about that temp in summer here. In our summer, a thunderstorm usually turns out to be dry, no rain at all. They often start wildfires.

Cabin lid gives pump operator nice roofcover for rain, sun, snow etc. bad weather.<br />
