Roof re-caulking

[Craig95005]

My RV shop says my 2012 37 foot Thor Class A motorhome needs removal of the old caulking and re-caulking. It's about six years old and has not been garaged or covered. No leaks so far, but the caulking does show some defects and separation. They figure six hours or so and $1000 to do it. Is that in the (California) ball park? As an alternative, how well does adding to existing caulking work? Thanks.

If you are physically able to get up on your roof you can remove the separated caulk and just re caulk, I can't see a 6 year old MH being that bad. Some times the caulk may crack somewhat just re caulk over the cracks. People have their favorite caulk but Dicor, Geocell and others out there all work fine. I have not used the Eternabond tape or other similar tapes but folks on here say they work good also. I would save the $1000 for gas.
