FWIW....you have to wonder why RV Manufacturers continue to build and design RV's using caulking around all openings that breakdown after only a few years, in this technology age surely there are better methods......or do they do it on purpose or it is just cheaper to get them out the door and continue to do it "The way we always did it"
As with most components of RVs, it's all about money. Self leveling caulking costs next to nothing and it can be laid down rather quickly on the line by even unskilled workers. The faster you can pump them out the more money you can make. Installing Eternabond tape correctly requires things like careful preparation, precise installation, and attention to detail. Three things that lots of manufacturers struggle with already.
