freely, is WD40 ok?

Paul i clean mine out weekly making sure any gunge around the bearing are cleaned,dry them out with a clean cloth and then coat in a light oil spray.
Iwould imagine wd 40 would be ok. The key is keeping them clean and free regulary.

I use wd40 no problems so far

Both WD40 and mineral oil will have an adverse effect on the rubber seals.
I use zinc & castor oil ointment but silicone grease sprays are available that are designed for this purpose.

A good spray is available from most caravan dealers. It is Thetford seal lubricant and is for the seals in a loo. Costs £2-£3. This is specifically for neoprene and rubber. WD40 will rot them sooner than later.
