Reseal Roof myself?

How difficult is it to reseal my fifth wheel roof? What product do I use?

I just took my 9 year old RV out for the first time in a year and a half and it appears that I have a leak in the roof near where the front cap fits. I would like to redo the roof, but can't afford the $1000 the dealer wants to do it.

    Dicor self leveling caulk, may also need eterna bond tape, mineral spirits for cleaning. My front and rear cap needed attention. Total for supplies were less than $100. Eterna bond tape is about $2 a ft for 4" wide. If you already have a leak you may need to re-tape where the cap meets. Fairly easy job. After you finish check roof every couple of months so you can catch problems before they get really bad.
