Time to recaulk....what's best?

It's time to re-caulk my TC. Anyone have suggestions for brands/types?

    For vertical surfaces I use Dicor.

    I know if I was looking for a used RV and if I walked up and saw tape on the sides, I would graciously thanks the seller for his time and leave.

    I would, too. Eternabond tape is for the horizontal roof surfaces not vertical.

  • Dicor or Proflex (there are 2 formulas. One for vertical seams and a self-leveling one for horizontal application)

    or Eternabond tape
  • what type of roof/sides/joint? what does owner's manual say? my OM says to use a urethane caulk so there are many possibilities/options. requirement could change with years due to roof makeup changes.
