I just bought a Host camper and noticed it needs chaulk in a few places. I'm not familiar with newer campers and how they're built now and I noticed the chaulk used looks and has the feel of Great Stuff (foam filler). I contacted Host via email and was told they use flex seal. They didn't say where they get it. Anyone here use this and if so where did you find it? Thanks.

I'm sure you can buy Flex Seal at a as seen on tv store or online. I don't think it's the replacement of caulk though and not a foam filler. Are you sure they didn't say Eternabond WebSeal?Pictures for what you are wanting to "fix" would help.

They wrote Flex Seal. I've heard of what you are referring to and that's why I'm asking the question because it seemed odd to me. I need to caulk around the door frames of propane tanks and rear storage. When I was inspecting the caulking I noticed it had a yellowish tint and feel that reminded me of Great Stuff. Thanks.

I think a normal caulk like Pro-Flex is what you want. It comes in different colors.

FLex Seal comes in a spray can. I can't imagine they'd use that around seams and trim pieces. That just sounds weird.

You won't find a professional using that. Just stop in at an rv dealer and find out what's good. They do repairs all the time.

This is exactly the problem. Using the stuff they use, you (or they) will be resealing it again and again. A good polyurethane or polyether caulk from a marine store will last a decade or more.

In all fairness, if it fell apart this year, it was rotten 2 years ago.
