X2. I got mine "free" with a $10 coupon I obtained by signing up for Good Sam. I also received a $25 coupon towards a one night stay at any GS campground. A win-win situation. :C

That makes sense...thanks.

Also, if you go to youtube and search dicor rv, you'll find how to videos.

What is the exact name of the Dicor caulk that people use? I just want to make sure I order the right stuff.

That is what you are looking for.
If you click on the photo there and zoom it, you'll notice the right-most tube says "HAPS-free". That is a new product which does not give off as bad of fumes as the original formula. If you are applying outdoors, it won't matter, and I suspect the original stuff is probably better.

But applied indoors, the original stuff is very nasty.

edit to add: I looked at the photo again. The listing is only selling the 501 series, which is the original type. The photo shows from left to right: 551 non-sag, 501 self leveling, 505 HAPS-free self-leveling. But only the 501 is for sale on that page, albeit in 3 different colors.

When adding a sealent and especially eternabond don't make a dam for water to puddle up there.

No expert. I would presume non-leveling would be ideal for non-horizontal surfaces such as around vents and pipes.

Here's another question: What use is there for the non-self leveling sealant? I've always used the self leveling product on those areas where I haven't used Eternabond.

You might want to consider eternabond as well. Good stuff.

Appreciate the reply. Got the sealant ordered and ready to go. So far, the trailer has passed my sealant checks... until last weekend when I saw a lot of nasty cracks, so going to spend a couple mornings fixing this.

Better safe than sorry (and leaky.)
