I thought silicon caulk on a camper/trailer was a big no no?
Most campers (all?) have the trim caulked with silicone to start with. I am slowly getting to all the exterior trim and replacing the silicone on ours.
This is exactly what I noticed when looking at new trailers. I was really surprised. Guess I should not have been. I will start to replace the silicone with something else too. Just not sure what yet. I was using 3M 4200 marine caulk and it worked great. I think it only comes in white and the new trailer is not white so might look funny. Need to check if it comes in clear.
Comes white or black. Most of the trim is black so that should work.
Having been around boats most of my life and usually being the one who has to remove old caulk, I would not use 3M 4200 on my camper. There are better alternatives out there that have been mentioned in this thread.
