Yes, that roof area where it is separated needs to be sealed, as does any cracked or missing caulk. Dicor is sold through RV service places like Camping World. Eternabond tape is sold through some roofing distributors and both are available at a host of online sellers.Farm Camp wrote:.

Is that the seem where the roof meets the sidewall?
Yes. Most of the rubber roof top tucks into the sidewall rail pretty well. This is one spot (about 3-4 inches long) where it is coming out a bit.
Basic Silicon caulk? Some sites say to not use Silicon only special RV Roof caulk. Is there something at a regular ACE or off to a special RV shop?
Another good selant, especially for vertical seams like around windows, doors, and corner seams is Geocel Tripolymer, either Proflex or Geocel 2600. You might find one of them at a lumberyard or roofing distributor.
