....I looked closely at your photos, and to me, your roofing material looks like TPO (not EPDM rubber).
I buckle the roof down with just enough force to "compress" about 1.4 inch. I also have a TPO roof (on the Outfitter, manufactured in 2005), and re-caulk about every 3 years using only Dicor non-sag lap sealant for vertical surfaces (I have the older TPO formulation, before the TPO patent expired and all hell broke loose with myriad new formulations entering the market).
Dicor makes a new sealant system that is chemically compatible with all the TPO variant chemistries; it is called: Ultra Sealant, and is 2 part mixable material. Dicor writes that this new Ultra Sealant is compatible with all the known RV TPO chemistry variants. Read about it here-->
If anyone uses this 2-part material, do your due diligence when applying to vertical roof areas (watch for sealant sag).
