Repairing a small crack in the roof of my camper trailer

I've recently discovered a small crack in the front part of the roof of my mobile home (attached photo). Since I'm new to RV maintenance, I need some advice on how to properly fix this crack. What material should I use and what is the best method to repair it? Thanks in advance for your help!

    If it were me, I would remove the old caulk, carefully, and get some self-leveling Dicor sealant/caulk. Clean the area good, make sure it's dry, and put down a generous amount of the sealant. Silicone sealant generally isn't a good idea for this type of application as it can make subsequent repairs very difficult.
