When ever we park for 2 weeks or longer I wipe all actuator rams, including the kitchen and door side slides, with LPS3. LPS3 contains cosmoline, which protects the ram from moisture. Unfortunately, once rust has started I don't think there is a cure other than replacement, as these actuators are not designed to be disassembled.

Never use WD40 to wipe down the rams as it traps moisture and just makes the rust problem worse.
