Hi there,
Thank you for your response. I'll give the Dicor a try.

On the off chance that you may have an opinion on another leak point, does your Outfitter leak around the seams around the soft sided pop up part around the stitching of the flexible windows/covers?
The Hallmark Ute has Velcro closing flexible plastic windows and covers. The needle they used was pretty big resulting in weep holes where the sewing is. We noticed that these weep overnight with water drops that cause the top of the mattress to get a bit damp.
My girlfriend went to Home Depot and got a spray can of Rustoleum LeakSeal Flexible Rubber Coating.

I'd like to coat the flexible camper wall stitching seams with something but am unsure if there is a recommended product.
Thanks,
Ric
I've only used Dicor so no experience with anything else.
Yes, the Outfitter windows and velcro are nearly identical as your Ute.
As Whazoo said, use some tent seam sealer on those big stitching holes and you will weep no more.
If it was me, I'd sure try caulking things before I bit the bullet for a new roof. :E
