SILICONE has no business ever being used on an RV especially exterior.
Silicone will not even stick to itself.
Areas where Silicone have been used must be cleaned with a silicone remover (solvent) to get rid of residue before anything else can be used.
And it's a lousy choice for exterior.
Dicor (self-leveling for roof, non-leveling for sidewalls/vertical)
Geocel ProFlex for sidewall/vertical
I prefer ProFlex.

That is what surprised me, when rv dealer tossed it to me. I was wondering if newer type silicone has improved over the years and maybe better than listed above.
I like how proflex goes on and the job it does. I must say I do not like removing proflex, a real pain.
Also tube has writing on top "Winnie#131264". When I google that I ended up at Winnebago Ind and they've been using it atleast 10 years

Not saying it is good because they use it, just saying might be good stuff.
