First of I will say that our first rig had clear silicone on the top and a few inches down on all the window frames and the entry door, but, our current rig had no sign of silicone except, on the window that had been removed for repair and reinstalled with some black goop and not the butyl tape. None of the openings leaked before they were R&R by well recommended guys.
Winnebago calls out a specific butyl tape and ours shows no sign of squeezing out like the Bounder did. I am certainly not an expert on sealing windows and doors in RVs but the first window that was repaired and the two that I had repaired now have a caulk and it oozes out and makes a mess. I am going to remove them and use the tape called out by Winnebago to seal them. I can only assume that all Winnebago's are assembled this way, am I wrong?
