I am curious about the concerns about the life expectancy of Dicor or Sikaflex. My RV is just shy of 20 years old. It has spent many summers in the desert southwest and winters outdoor in snow country. The original Dicor and Geoflex sealants are doing just fine.
Not too worried about the life expectancy of either product. The camper is already 25 years old. I suspect either the camper will wear out or I will before either Dicor or Sikaflex reaches end-of-life even in the brutal SW sunshine
😉Doing a complete sealant strip and reseal of the roof and windows is more for peace of mind for the next Alaska trip than anything else. We have experienced some heavy rains during previous trips. That’s when leaks become a real problem.
Now deciding if we want to use Dicor non sag white around the windows, seams and other panels. Looks like the camper came from the factory with clear around the windows and white for the seams. But we hear the clear cures very shiny and not sure we want that look. We’ve had good luck using masking tape to get some nice looking edges on the caulking already so that’s not an issue. Guess beauty will be in the eye of the beholder on this one.
The camper deserves some TLC after 25 years of great service! But this has turned into a project where we’re asking ourselves “when is enough a enough.” Considering pulling corner trim and resealing with Dicor Seal-Tite corner seal tape. No leaks that we know of so a simple clean and seal of the trim is more in order.
1-800 to Dicor tech line is a great idea for the 303 question. Appreciate everyone sharing their opinions and experiences. One of the things we like about this forum.
