Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / August 2005re-caulking
just curious....how often does everybody recaulk their campers? We check every year; those places that need to be re-caulked, get caulked. We have found places one usually don't think about needing caulk (like the rubber gasket around the edge of the roof) that needed caulking. We're still working on that problem; most of the caulk we've tried peels off after curing. ;~[ Anybody have a suggestion on what kind of caulk or glue we need to fix the problem? Jennypurr Most RV dealers should carry the proper caulking to use but I like C-10 Self-Leveling Caulking. This is what most manufacturers use to caulk around most roof penetrations. It forms a nice smooth seal and fills in all of the voids nicely. Jim > We check every year; those places that need to be re-caulked, get > caulked.

Thanks, Sparks Firestone makes a LAP sealant: http://store.watergardenweb.com/lapsealant.html or http://www.bestnest.com/bestnest/RTProduct.asp?SKU=FIR-W563587033-1 Another source for LAP Sealant: http://doityourself.com/store/6095012.htm and: http://www.campingworld.com/search/index.cfm?action=search&tcode=11&keywords=LAP +Sealant&x=0&y=0 DICOR is another brand: https://www.rvpartsoutlet.com/newstore/nojava/showprod.cfm?ID=2408&refid=8BDD40D D%2DA21A%2D4D21%2D9E8FD86106530713 JJS >>Most RV dealers should carry the proper caulking to use but I like C-10 >>Self-Leveling Caulking.

"Dyco C-10 Flow Sealant formulated with DuPont Hypalon which forms a tough, flexible, synthetic rubber seal." as per the info on the tube. I would NOT recommend this for vertical surfaces. Works great on horizontal and sloped surfaces though. Jim > >Most RV dealers should carry the proper caulking to use but I like C-10 > >Self-Leveling Caulking.
