What Caulk to Seal Outside Shower?
I think my outside shower housing is leaking, allowing rain water to enter my travel trailer. What caulking type should be used to reseal the outside shower housing to the trailer wall?

Dicor offers both self-leveling and regular caulk. Just applied the regular Dicor around the indicator lights on the front of my TT yesterday.- Another vote for RV Proflex. Dicor is self leveling and better suited for roof applications.
- if you use dicor be sure you buy the non leveling type for the walls. leveling type will just run down the out side wall and not do you any good for a good seal.
- The correct fix is to remove it and use butyl tape under the flange area. It can be done without disconnecting the plumbing.
- RV ProFlex is also a good caulk to use.
- Carefully take it off the wall. Clean everything thoroughly. Apply a bead of butyl putty tape, and remount to the wall. Once it is secured, apply a bead of Dicor to the top and two sides. No more chances of leaks for at least 10 years.
