Advice about Caulk for between roof and gutter

My husband and I are checking all the caulk on our trailer for cracks. We have decided we need to recaulk between our roof and the black gutter. I was thinking we would use lap sealant, non sag. I wanted to buy it in clear or black. I thought white would look too white since my roof is a few years old. Does anyone have any recommendations for caulk in this area? Is lap sealant non sag a good choice? I found something called Cap Sealant on Dicor's website...that does come in clear and black...but not sure if that has silicon in it. I have called 2 local rv dealers and they say I can only get white lap sealant non sag through them. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give...

You should be able to find DICOR Lap in Tan or Black on line.

If your referring to caulking along the "edge" (not behind) of the metal gutter rail where it meets the TPO roofing material, I re-caulked my 2018 24RBS last fall.

I used Dicor White Non-Sag Lap Sealant and some painters tape. With a plastic putty knife I clean off most of the existing caulk........, which was really excess butyl putty tape that was applied 'behind' the gutter rail during Jayco assembly.

IMO Jayco never really did run a bead of 'caulk' along this edge, they relied on the excess butyl putty tape as reflected in the following pic of the rear wall/roof metal trim;



Don't worry about the new "white" caulk contrast to the roof, give it 6 months and it will have that nice dull dirty finish

Here's my 24RBS a couple days after re-caulking (a little rain for effect)......

Thanks...we ended up buying the same non sag caulk in white and used it...I think you are right...it won't be long and it will blend right in.
Thanks again.
