After a roof inspection (2000 Itasca Horizon) in Forest City several years ago the tech told me the roof needed re-caulking. They would do it for $400 or I could do it myself just for the price of the caulk. I chose the 'do it myself' route. I cleaned the roof and gutter with an alcohol based window cleaner and did the caulk job. Decided I did not want to ever go thru that again and bought a 4 inch wide roll of EBond tape. I split the tape and then cleaned again. Marked a straight line above the gutter edge on the roof. Let the factory edge of the tape follow that line and the width of the tape follow the roof line and lap onto the side of the gutter next to the body of the coach. This was the fiber tape and had to be painted with the UV resistant paint. We kept that coach until 2008 and the EBond was as strong as the day I put it on. Great stuff

Dicor is a great sealant, but a lousy "glue". The roof edge seal on Winnebagos/Itascas need "glue", specifically:

It's not necessary to remove all the old caulk. Just get the loose stuff, clean well and apply the new caulk. Dicor self leveling works great on the horizontal areas, like you are planning.
Use a hair dryer or heat gun (on low) with a plastic scraper to remove the old caulk.
After you recaulk, I would apply a strip of Eternabond. Clean well before applying the Eternabond and use a roller. I like a steel roller, some like a wood roller.
Which ever one you chose, press hard and get a good contact. The Eternabond will last a long time.
