re-caulking windows
For those of you that have taken the time to re caulk your RV windows did you remove the window frames or just re caulk along the outside edging? Thanks for your input.

I would highly recommend removing the windows and replacing whatever sealing they used with butyl tape. This will get you much a better seal than just a bead of caulk around the outside (which you can add anyway, if you want), and also it is a great opportunity to check for water damage.
On my rig I took the windows out and found that 2-3 had been leaking since they were installed because Coachmen didn't install the foam rubber tape correctly. After replacing the window a pizza cutter works great to slice off the extra butyl. You can even run the pizza cutter at an angle to bevel the butyl to shed water better.
