Should I use caulk with a T-style door holder?
I want to replace a broken plastic T-style door holder with a metal one. Do I need to use caulk when I screw it on?

There's a reason that every RV manufacturer uses it on every rig made, all the way from pop-ups to 6-figure busses. Your "high-quality sealant" is always used in addition to, not in place of, the butyl putty tape.- Cummins12V98 wrote , "Use some quality sealant NOT silicone."

Anything attached to the outside of an RV gets a piece of this butyl putty tape under it. Use a piece of this tape under the flange of the door holder and then screw it into the camper. trim the excess tape that squeezes out as you tighten the screws. Caulk around the edges.

- If you put a hole in the side or top of an RV you need to caulk first. Everytime!
