Lap Sealant vs Eternabond Tape
So here I am on the roof of our 2013 TT. That's because during a recent driving rain we got water on the carpet below a vent. Yep, two years old and the vent covers look like they are at least 10 year...

If you listen to everyone's opinion on this subject, you will end up confused.
IMO self-leveling goop came into the picture due to the fact that the RV manufacturers wanted a product that would lend itself to mass production. With self-leveling stuff they can apply it very quickly, and for the least amount of material cost.
IMO for private/individual use, self-leveling goop makes no sense. There's other ways, which are more expensive and more work-intensive, which produce superior results.
HOWEVER, I'm not so much referring to rubber/membrane type roofs and materials. I only work on metal or semi-fiberglass or all fiberglass roofs.
I use 3M 4200 Adhesive/Caulk and Eternabond and Sika non-silicon products.
IN other words, some of these things you have to learn on your own. Try whatever you decide to use, and give it a few years.
