Good Sealant for Sealing our Camper
What is a good Sealant to use? After searching the entire lower peninsula of Michigan for a hardside truck camper that was in good shape and fit our budget we found a 1983 Real-lite in great condition...

Cover it until you can seal it properly. I would recommend Dicor. I had issues twice with Proflex. The sealant went on OK but failed to adhere properly. I think the tubes were old and the sealant was not fresh. That happened to me twice with Proflex and I have never had an issue with Dicor.
If you have long roof seams that need to be sealed, I would consider the Eternabond tape. You then use Dicor on the edges of the tape.
If you use the right materials and do a careful job the sealant should work for many years. Be sure the surfaces are as clean as possible. I have even used fine grade sandpaper to prep the surfaces. Then do a final prep with mineral spirits. It can take quite a while to do a good job but it will be worth it to avoid constant fixing and patching or worse areas that still leak.
