Caulking
Curious what you folks are using for exterior caulking. I use dicor and eternabond tape where appropriate but what about some of those fine caulking lines that are on the roof and sidewall joints? ...

I'm sure Bigfoot isn't using off the shelf silicone from Home Depot.
Here's the deal: Household silicone is designed for use on houses that don't move. Dicor and similar products are designed for houses that DO move.
The translucent clear sealant is best to use for sealing cracks and gaps on many surfaces. You can use it for doors, windows, auto, gutters and bath, to name some. It is also waterproof that it can be applied outdoors or indoors.
The sealant does not also shrink or turn yellowish. You can also have peace of mind that it won’t stain the surface to which it is applied. It is also UV resistant that it can last long even with continuous exposure to the changing weathers and outdoor elements.
Aside from the mentioned applications, this product also works well in plumbing and gutters. You also don’t have to worry that it won’t adhere well because it is especially formulated for many types of surfaces. It can also be applied on a damp and slightly oily surface.
Another great thing that I love about this product is that it can be water ready in 30 minutes. That said you could also apply paint on top of it without any worries because it quickly sticks to the surface and dries.
The sealant is also waterproof, so you can look forward to a leak-free RV for a long time by choosing the Gorilla Silicone Sealant Caulk for your camper, automobile and recreational vehicle, and so on.
