Hello, I'm new here but not new to truck campers or Good Sam. I bought a new Fleetwood Caribou in 1994, it eventually developed leaks in the roof, repaired many times and was great until it was left outside in the pacific northwest for too long. I purchased a very lightly used 2001 Lance 1010 in '06. It has been great, until this year I noticed the caulking is looking brittle and oxidized. I found evidence of a leak near the left front jack and looking closer I found small separations around some seams.
First, to stay on topic I think the top brands for quality are Lance, Bigfoot, Artic Fox and perhaps Eagle Cap, I hear they are back in business...
Second, I am looking for advice on caulking material for my Lance, I have had two different RV techs tell me to use 100% silicone for the side back and front seams, yet all the youtube videos I found said to NOT use silicone and use Dicor elasomera product. Can anyone shed some light on this? Should I post this on a different thread? Thanks
