Sealing on the sides
Hey guys, I know lap sealant is used for the roof and silicone is a big no no on the rubber roofs but from what I’ve seen silicone is used on the sides of the rig to seal things like marker lights etc...

I like to use the CLEAR urethane caulking. This is used on most windows and seems to adhere and last longer than silicone. It is available at Home Depot, Lowes, or any hardware store. I clean the surfaces with denatured alcohol first.
This is generally what I use as well. In particular, I've had good luck so far with OSI Quad, and particularly the "Max" variant which is a good bit easier to apply neatly. The times I've had trouble with it, it's been due to poor or incomplete surface preparation.
Silicone seals well, but is very very hard to deal with when you need to renew the seal as basically nothing will stick to cured silicone, so it's essential to remove all traces of it before resealing.
For things like baggage compartment holdback latches or clearance lights or other small items bolted on, I've used plumber's putty with decent results.
Thanks guys I see the quad and the quad max but the max doesn’t come in clear only white and color.
