Dicor lap Sealant

This is not for either campers but our enclosed trailer. We washed it up today and the sealant around the top is coming off pretty bad. Our enclosed trailer has an aluminum one piece roof. I figure if we use our pressure washer then it will take most of the old sealant off. It's a 14' trailer so I am thinking maybe 2 tubes. What do yall think? Any other steps we might need to take. thanks in advance...

    dicor also comes in non self leveling for doing vertical surfaces.

    Check the label.

    We figured with all the sealant up there and it appears to be self leveling that is what we would put back. It looks like there is an aluminum lip that is screwed down on the edge of the roof and then the old sealant.

    An enclosed trailer with no interior walls to damage, it would be fine.

    Never get near an RV with a pressure washer, well maybe the wheels.
