What type of cauking do you recomend?

[chopshop]

Hello all!

I've tried a search on this topic to no avail. What type of cauking do you guys recomend for the roof vents, sky lights and such on a rubber roof?

Also how often do I need to check it?

Thanks in advance.

I check mine every six months. I would use the Dicor self leveling caulk for rubber roofs.

I don't want to hijack a thread but it's my first post on this forum so I am entitled Anyway, is this the same stuff I should use to caulk around the windows, doors and lights on the sides of the trailer or is there better caulk for that purpose?

Welcome to the forum, punkaccountant! The Dicor self leveling lap sealant being discussed here is to be used only on roofs. Dicor does make a vertical sealant also, but for the items you mentioned I have used Proflex RV sealant with good results. Available at RV supply stores like Tweety`s. http://www.jaycoowners.com/attachmen...20e83ad4b9.jpg

ProFlex RV is the best for vertical surfaces. It really sticks so do not get on anything you don't want it on. It will not hold up very long in the tube when you store it because it is so sticky-clogs the end of the tube.

Wish they made the ProFlex in a smaller squeeze tube so that I would not waste so much doing a small fix.
