A properly designed/engineered and built RV should need no additional caulking whatsoever. If they got it right you should have no leaks for years. Using a one piece fiberglass roof is getting it right. It's the same for one piece fiberglass end caps that do no have any upward facing gaps.
IMHO: Re caulking a Class C to stop leaks is like having to add modifications to the suspension... there simply should be no need to do either. I have yet to encounter another Nexus owner with leaks and the same holds true for Born Free, Phoenix Cruiser and Lazy Daze {to name just a few of the better designed/built C's out there}.
When builders {who know better}, continue to build coaches with rubber roofs, Luan, 2 X 4 framing and host of other cost saving shortcuts it quickly shows in the overall quality {or lack thereof}, of the coach.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV
