You are correct, doing it yourself is a very good option. However, just because the caulk is cracked does not mean it's leaking.
When removing old caulk, use a hair dryer or a heat gun on low and a plastic scraper. Just take your time.
There are chemical caulk removers available.
If the old caulk is solid, I leave it in place and apply new over top the old. Clean well before applying the caulk.
Use Dicor Self Leveling caulk on horizontal surfaces
Consider using Eternabond tape on the seams and wherever practical.
If you chose to not to DIY, call a Mobile RV Tech.
