I redid the whole caulking of the camper around every window/light acces door and every trim.the only thing i did not do is to remove all the whole trim to change the butyl tape under it and inspect. Caulked over and under it all around it took around 9 tube of caulk and a can of thinner to clean everything hahaha.
Kodiak, Just a question. Are you doing the re-seal correctly? All of the old stuff "Lap sealant, cap sealant, caulk, etc... has to come off, The surface "All surfaces" need to be cleaned with Naphtha or Goof off. COMPLETELY cleaned of everything including any caulk residue, dirt, oil. Are you removing the screws getting the next size up SS screw and re-caulking and reattaching them. If your just going over the old stuff your not fixing a thing even if you clean it. It sounds like your doing it correctly though. I'll throw my money behind some leaking screws. Good luck, Joe
