what sealer/calk?

[mowin]

I purchased a manual awning from a fellow camper who had it taken off to put up a 3 season room. The bottom brackets had some kind of calk on the back of them. I think dicor is self leveling, so I'm not sure if thats the correct stuff to use? I have a dealer comming to instal the awning on Wednesday, and Im not going to trust them to bring the stuff, so I want to have it on hand. Good to have it around anyway.

Smart man!!!

That 'parts guy' is an idiot. Seems like lots of RV places hire them.

Silicone is the absolute worst thing that you could use one the exterior of a trailer. I actually hate that stuff with a passion. I won't even use it in my house.

Geocel Proflex or Tremco proglaze (a bit less messy)

Dicor Self-leveling for ROOF

Dicro non-sag or Geocel Proflex for vertical/horizontal surfaces

Sorry, autocorrect issue. *dicor* makes a no-sag caulk along with the self leveling type too

[MNRon]

Do or makes a no-sag caulk for vertical sides too

Butyl tape.
