caulking exteriors seams
What is the best choice for caulking the seams on the exterior of a 5th. I have the full body paint so it would need to be paintable or possibly clear would work.

- Caulking a new 2014 trailer already ??
I would first check with the trailer manufacturer and see what they recommend. That way they can't say you used the wrong type of product. - ProFlex

no, I was just wanting to know for when that time comes. thanks for the quick replys- Google Eternabond clear RV caulk
- pro flex. al c.
- 3m 4200 UV
Expensive but truly exceptional long lasting caulk. It is designed for the harsh Marine environment. - Dont use dap. Choose a quality RV caulk. Been there done that.
- We just bought ProFlex clear caulk at camping world. Haven't started the project yet.
The guy at camping world told us to do one panel at a time, big job to try and do all at once.
Remove the old caulk, use denatured alcohol with a clean cloth to clean the area. Apply the caulk in very small sections and use windex on your finger to smooth it down. He said don't try a run a really long bead all at once. - ProFlex is definitely the best way to go. Been using it for years.
- Call the factory and use what they use if possible. Some caulks do not adhere to other brand of caulks.
