"Recaulking" windows is usually futile. The flexing of RVs quickly breaks the seal and the leak resumes. Every 10 years or so it's really necessary to remove the windows, clean off old caulk then replace the rope caulk between the frame and wall. Not all that difficult with 2 people and a ladder. Remove all the screws on the inside, remove the inner part and start pushing the window out. The outside guy should have a putty knife handy for the few spots of sticky caulk remaining. Once the new rope caulking is installed and window back in place, every year the inside screws need to be tightend to take up the slack from the slowly compressing caulk. After another 10 years it will be squished flat and due for another go-round.
I'm seeing a lot of brands of rope caulking on the internet
Is there a specific type for RV use or does it matter?
