Have the new trailer. Any good suggestions?

Caulk above anything that protrudes to the outside like running lights, side lights, etc. My dealer uses white silicone.
I'd leave the bottom open for drainage.

This is good advice. The first thing I've done with my past 3 trailers (2 new, one used) was to pretty much recaulk everything. Windows, doors, lights, fixtures, whatever. On the first 2 that I did, I used a caulk called Quad that was recommended by the dealer. My current one I used Geocel's Proflex Clear. Using silicon is not recommended as it doesn't adhere as well as other sealants.

I mask off around each item that I'm going to caulk as it makes a much nicer finish.

I learned the hard way from my first TT to keep an eye on all of the seams and caulked areas. With that TT, we had severly rotted floors in 4 areas under some carpet. There was absolutely no idication of leaks anywhere on the ceiling or walls, just one soft spot that showed up after 3 years. When I pulled the carpet up I found 3 more rotted spots. Very disheartening, let me tell you.

Good luck with the new TT and enjoy!
