What ever you use up there make it look like a quality OEM job.
One of my RV dealer service mgr made a comment that they were seeing more used units showing up with improperly applied sealant products especially on the roof which affected resale value and marketability.
I understand where you are coming from and I'm not wanting to "kill the messenger", but I think that statement from the dealer service manager is unimportant, in my mind. The sealant, even if not applied neatly, but seals correctly, goes a long way in preventing leaks, which in turn definitely affects resale value - for the better. In the previous poster, who posted the photo of his new fifth wheel with the applied tape on the front cap seam - it doesn't look very neat to me (as in even and not cool). I would've preferred a dark tape to blend in, but it's doing it's job and keeping moisture out and hence protecting the unit. Kudos to him.
