To lubricate the winch in a 2004 Jayco Eagle camper trailer:

1. Apply a small quantity of WD-40 on the moving mechanism and all points of movement in the actuator.
2. Lubricate the winch once per year, preferably at the beginning of the season.
3. Use light oil on the two upper shaft bearings and at each end of the main drum where the cable rolls on.
