I hate Dicor,....its sticky, gooy, gets all over everything, takes too long to set up, but its still the best for lasting forever.

Does SS stand for stainless steel?

Yes.

If an RV shop was doing the install, they would probably use Dicor.

This cable plate + Dicor:

+1 on down the fridge vent. I used little strips of Eternabond to hold the cables in place on the roof.

I used a strain relief at the fridge vent to get the wire down. No sealant.
Otherwise I recommend Dicor self leveling caulk for typical rubber roof penetration.
Need to have a J-box or something to hold the wires in place.

Marine cable pass through


I use regular cord grips, but 3M 5200 worked fine too.

3M Marine polyurethane...water proof, permanent
