Roof Maintenance
I am wonder peoples opinions on maintaining the caulking on the roof of their TT. I currently get a tube of Dicor caulking and pull out the caulking gun every fall after I clean the roof before it goes into winter storage. I will just do a touch up of any caulking that looks suspicious and continue yearly, which is about a $20 investment per year. I am wondering if there is a better way to do it. I can see two other solutions:
1) s****e the old caulking off, clean and fully re-caulk on a less regular basis, say every 3-5 years. I see this as being a lot of work but on a less frequent basis. Cost wise it is probably about the same as 1 tube per year for touch up vs about 3-5 tubes every 3-5 years.
2) put Eternabond tape over the caulking. I see this as a longer term solution, not sure how long Eternabond will last vs caulking because I see this as a very expensive solution, but if it lasts 10 or more years, it may be worth the investment.
Thoughts?
