caulking question
Do the outside corners of an aluminum sided travel trailer need to be caulked periodically? Is this a place of possible water intrusion? Thanks.

If you plan on keeping your aluminum trailer for several years, it is a good idea to caulk all the screws. The rubber strip that hides all the screw is not water tight. I took all my screws out one at a time and dipped the screws into a tube of 5200 (the part that threads into the wood stud) and hand tightened them back in. I was amazed how rusty the screws were after the trailer being only 1 years old. 3 years later, everything was good and it was a bonus and helped with the sale when I showed the buyer that all the screws were sealed with caulk.
