Sealing Reefer Heating Area Floor
I noticed this: I'd like to seal that opening between the plastic trim and floor up. I know silicone is bad. What is the best option and why? Thanks!

Why is silicone bad?????? That is what you DO use.
I seem to recall it being said over and over that there's no place for silicon anywhere on an RV.
I have some black RTV that I could use if that's the right stuff.
It seems like there should be something better. Something that will stick to itself so that if a re-seal needs to be done you don't need to remove the silicone from that fragile black "cloth" on the bottom of the compartment.
Where have you seen this????? I have been in the RV industry for 40 years, 36 as a tech and silicone is a perfectly good thing to use in the application the poster showed. If you look, it HAD silicone from the OEM at that spot. Silicone is NOT good on Styrofoam as it will eat it up. It will NOT work on rubber/epdm roofs. The thing I like to use is not Sikaflex(which is better than silicone), But a DAP product that comes in a red/white silicone tube. Lowes and HD both carry it. You can get it in clear and white. The neat thing about the clear is, it comes out white, but dries so clear you cannot tell it was even installed. It adheres to almost anything except rubber roofs. Doug
