Most of the items stuck on from the outside such as the water inlets, power cord cover, etc., are all sealed using butyl tape. It's basically just a putty that makes a seal between the trailer and whatever.
I replaced several items on my last trailer and used butyl tape to reseal them all as that was used by the manufacturer.
Correct .... normally caulk/sealants are only used as a secondary seal. While there might be others two other specific adhesive/sealants made for bedding fixtures are the 3M Marine 4000 and 5000 series Marine products which are my choices to use as a secondary caulk/sealant in addition to the normal butyl tape.
A final option to use in stead of butyl tape would be the double sided Eternabond tape.
