Appears to be butyl caulking between the camper and brackets. Any tips or tricks that might help?
While I'm at it, I'd like to replace the bolts with better coated fasteners. Recommendations? I saw someone suggest GRK screws? They look like a good, grippy replacement.
I had to do two on my old camper and the wood was just starting to get soft in the holes. I had to redrill them to get new wood and I used a sikaflex product in the holes and under the mounts that goes firm (not rock hard) but its more of an adheasive than a sealant, I put newwer stainless lagscrews in and then used proflex to seal around the bracket.
hopefully I won't regreat it if I ever have to take them off again.
