Silicone caulking

Just a rant on dang Silicone, I bought a 1997 Lance camper a few weeks ago, and I need to be kicked in the rear if I ever buy another RV thats had silicone slathered everywhere. This poor camper has had years of silicone on top of silicone, Its my own fault for not shying away from it from the start. I did find a mineral spirits substitute, (in california) at home depot that is doing a fair job of removing it. Its a tedious job.

    Same here, my TT is 6 weeks old and I am still trimming the "squeeze-out" everywhere.

    Eternabond. I've used it for years. Never a problem. Maybe yours was not installed properly or, it's not Eternabond.
    Are you sure it's the tape and not the roof material causing the discoloration?
    Black streaks are common.
