I gots the rot...
Well, shame on me for trusting my RV repair guy to do the inspecting of my roof seals... Found water in the rear toolbox compartment after some heavy rains last month, and then we noticed the bubbling...

If the only caulk that you are removing is the same as your first picture then it's not silicone. If you're not going to repair the wood then just peel the caulk back until you get to where it's stuck to the roof, Then lay a new bead down a little wider than the original and call it a day. I would just go right over the old bits that are still stuck as they aren't causing any problems.
Yup, while I'd like to strip and replace all the old rear caulking, I only have one tube of Dicor :) I probably took off a bit more than needed, but I want to make sure I get all the leaky spots. I see there was an previous Dicor patch on the rear passenger-side corner, so I left that run of old caulk there, as well as some other runs around the roof fan front and sides, some of the rear bead caulk that still seemed good & stuck, etc.
We'll see how far I get on one tube - I see it's not supposed to rain now until Tues (but then it looks like solid rainy wx on and off thru the weekend) - I'll get more Dicor if needed on Monday.
