What is everyones favotive caulk?

Looking for opinions on your favorite RV caulk.
I have used Dicor in the past, it went on well, but cracked the following season.
I see Geocel RV caulk also, looks like good reviews.

  • Depends on the job you are doing and if you need to easily remove hardware later, etc.

    Nothing wrong with silicone for glazing purposes.
    Usually use 3m products in general.
  • Honestly... after learning applying caulk is sometimes more of an art and lots of practice just like anything new ...
    Doctor. But easier for you to use what OEM first used if possible; but not always easy to find out.
  • I initially used Geocel. Unfortunately I had problems twice. I got a couple of tubes at an RV hardware location. Then I got a couple more tubes by mail from Camping World. None of the caulk worked. It went on OK but would not stick well after curing. Maybe there was a bad patch and I just got unlucky twice. I switched to Dicor.
  • i prefer 3M marine polyurethane
    next in store brand polyurethane found in the roofing department

    Avoid loctite polyurethane, takes forever to setup
    still soft and sticky 24 hrs after application
    not good for things that move like RV's
  • On all my exterior openings I use Geocel
    proflex rv it comes in different colors
    Including clear but don't use on epmd rubber
    roof. I use dicor self leveling lap sealant of
    that.

    While I use Dicor, my answer is ANYTHING WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SILICONE! Yes, I meant to shout. Never use Silicone on your RV. Ever.
