Jayco Eagle Sealant questions
I've recently had some driving rain here in the panhandle of Texas and discovered a couple of areas that need to be looked at:
Point A: is in one of the slides at the skylight, it seems to be sealed with some sort of whitish looking sealant tape, would I want to seal around the tape with silicone, take the tape off and reseal with silicone, take the tape off and reseal with new tape?
Point B: is on the side of the trailer at the floor height. There is a trim strip along the bottom where the trailer composite side and the metal flashing trim strip along the bottom meet. This trim strip has expanded at a different rate than the composite sides and pulled away from the side. In heavy rains water leaks in right at the floor boards. Do I clean off existing silicone and refill with new? Do I do something to try to keep this from buckling away from the side? The strip is currently sealed with a silicone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The first picture shows a close up of the trim strip just below the heater, the second picture shows the area where the leak is just uner the outdoor receptacle, you can see the slight ripple in the trim strip.
