caulking

I have a 2019 Sunseeker. Trying to clean it up. Caulking around storage bays is dry, cracking, but seems to may be be putty, not caulk. Can I remove this then apply silicone?

I just purchased a 2009 Fun Finder X. It's in really great shape, but I wasn't sure if I should caulk the shower stall floor (please see photos)? It's all caulked on walls and where the wall joins the floor, just not below that so I wasn't sure why this wasn't done unless it's not supposed to...

Hi Everyone, We are the new owners of a 2005 17B. The previous owners sealed the bellyband top and bottom with caulking or sikaflex as they thought it was leaking. I've spent a couple hrs mechanically removing a small 2 ft section but there will always be discoloured caulk between the belly band...

We are camping have a 2022 Dynamax Isata 3 when running air conditioner water comes inside from the roof. Have GE unit. Can't see anything obvious, any ideas please. Chuck

Hi - 1st time poster. I didn’t see this addressed anywhere else so asking here: the Melamine (?) walls of my 2011 SMB shower appear to be separating. Looks like the previous owners used regular silicone caulk but I’m wondering if that’s the best fix? (They used this on the ceiling fan and it was...

When was through the roof invented? How long does through the roof last before it begins to fail? Is through the roof work well on TPO? What would happen if I coded a whole roof with through the roof? Is there anyway to buy a larger container of through the roof? I put them through the roof on...

Is it worth stretching these seals back into shape or should I try to find replacements? And where would i find replacements? Additionally, I would like to replace the glass but can't find any tutorials that would fix me thru. The seal in the interior is cracking as well. What can i use...

Greetings FunFinder Family…. Attached are pics of our 2007 139 Funfinder X. Just trying to figure out if my roof is Topo or the other type…Poly?? It’s not leaking I just want to know for future maintenance/replacement if needed. Also no leaks on windows but I noticed some separation on exterior...

I have a 2018 Imagine 3170 BH, and it's starting to leak in behind the awning where it connects to the side. I assume I just need to get a bead of caulk up there but was wondering what type you all suggest? I also have some water coming in from behind the Outdoor kitchen door flap, and I would...

I noticed a gap in the caulking where the wall meets the shower floor. I was very concerned that water was leaking through out the RV. Has anyone heard that there are supposed to be gaps at the base to allow air flow. Also I read on another forum that this area should not be caulked. Any...

So with trial and error I've learned too late how to properly caulk using soapy water, which means I'm going to need to remove my newly done caulking and redo it. (thankfully I didn't get far). I want to reseal any holes I see, the awning connections to the siding, the windows, and any other...

Hey guys I have a 2000 Chevy short bus my partner and I just remove the windows and are prepping for reinstallation. This might be a silly question but what type of caulking do I use for reinstallation? It seemed like they were two different kinds one was green and definitely a stronger bond and...

I have a 2006 17B Escape. I think the previous owner used silicon caulking to seal the top edge of the awning, where the painted metal strip meets the fiberglass roof. The sealant needs to be replaced. My questions are: 1) Can I use Dicor's Self-leveling Lap Sealant after I remove the silicon...

I'm having a leaky window issue. I have tried to no avail finding replacement rubber channel seals for my bus windows. CR Laurence came the closest (too deep of channels). I've been told to caulk along each window pane. I have zero experience with caulking, so I'm nervous. Thoughts on other...

First time posting here! Hello! I’m having issues with my bus leaking. There are so many. A few of the issues seem to be coming from the screws that hold the black bars on the outside. Some leaks seem to be coming through the fiberglass of where the lights are. I’ve caulked around the screws...

I don’t mean to start a war of silicone people vs Sitka-Flex vs 3M Products. But I have heard many different things about many different products. I have used Sitka-Flex and finds that it grabs and holds dirt causing it to look grimy, 3M 3200 it stays tacky but is a pain to remove and finally...

Hi all! We have had some really rainy and cold days. I have just discovered water on the closet floor in the back corner by the door where you enter 2008 -189 FBR. I'm not sure if it's condensation which has been particularly heavy, or if it is leaking somewhere that I can't see. I...

So out on the sunshine coast, set up and doing great. Wife and I had showers the other day, (BTW the upgrade to Oxygenics head is awesome!) And then was working on basement tidy. But a fairly large pool of water in there after showers. Investigated and sure enough, water exited the shower...

Hello all, Any advice is welcomed and appreciated! We are new to the game. We lived in a 41ft fifth wheel the past year full time and decided to downsize. We bought a 1986 31ft sovereign and have come home to restore and hope to hit the road in May. I know I need to recaulk the exterior of the...

I’ve owned 3 other RV’s but this is my first New travel trailer. My neighbor has a 21’ model similar to ours that we liked, and we got a good deal in December 2017, so we bought a new one for a bit less than we were planning to pay for a used one. Since it was bitter cold, I didn’t do a once...

Hi. I want to replace the sections of missing caulking between the wall panel and the floor. What is there is black and very rubber like. What is the correct caulking to use? Thanks.

Returning from a weekend out, I was at the Camping World RV dump station. As I was waiting for the tanks to drain, I was spraying the side & back with the water hose. Well the nice gentleman waiting behind me, walked up and after first complementing me on being one of the few women he had ever...

After reading hours of Hi-Lo and other forums and watching videos I think I've learned that- 1) a traveling RV is subject to the forces of an earthquake and tornado 2) preventing the dreaded leaks from those forces is difficult and time consuming 3) preventing leaks is all important 4) using...

I take Harvey the RV in for some get ready for summer maintenance and the techs tell me the the caulking on the roof is dried and cracking and needs to be replaced. Estimated cost: about $1000. This is El Paso, in the middle of the desert and it is 103 degrees today, so i can believe that...
