Okay, you asked for the quick fix not the right fix so I would say self leveling silicone for now. You can get it at any RV or really good supply store.
Absolutely DO NOT ever use silicone on any trailer ... no self respecting RV dealer that knows what they're doing would sell silicone for caulking the exterior of an RV. :E For horizontal surfaces such as a trailer roof one would normally want to use a self leveling lap sealant such as Dicor, HOWEVER ... the OP's KZ Spree has a TPO roof not an EPDM rubber roof so he needs to identify just what type of TPO his trailer has ... details can be found here. The OP mentioned "putty like sealant" which in fact is self leveling lap sealant, not putty which would in fact have been used under any flanges, his skylight flange being one, which in turn would then have been covered over with lap sealant. To the OP - if you're going to do this work, learn to do it properly the first time, with the right materials. If you feel you don't have the time to do it correctly then take the trailer to someone who does.
Thanks for the Dicor link. Looks like good info and will not be that time consuming. I would have taken it to the local dealer since I'm strapped for time but Camping World just bought them out and they seem very disorganized right now.
