Me and many other people use this on their slide seals. Available on Amazon

Any UV protectant, such as above, will help protect the seals. I use Thetford premium RV slide seal conditioner on my seals/wipers, and baggage door seals. It has UV protectant and conditioner, to keep the seals soft and pliable.
It is a spray on foam, that doesn't run, or make a mess. I use a small soft cloth to finish rubbing it in.

I use Talc powder. Pour some into an old sock, tie off the top and apply to the rubber gaskets/seals. Can actually hear the slide speed up when opening/closing. Doesn't attract dirt or dust.

Although I am not full time so mine are mostly retracted and out of the sun.
I am more inclined to just replace them at the 40 year mark.

For our Grand Design the factory recommends talcum powder in a sock.
