Sealants to use

I’m getting ready to wash and inspect my camper seals, sealants around windows, doors and edges of the roof. Before I do I want to get a couple of tubes of sealant so if needed I can reseal while doing it. What are the best sealants to use for resealing around windows, doors, tracks and edges of the roof? Is a good silicone clear caulk from lows good to use?

On the roof you will want to use Dicor lap sealant. Self leveling for the roof and non self leveling for the sides.

Around windows and such, You want a quality sealant such as Proflex or any other product SPECIFICLY made for RV exteriors

clear sikaflex for the tops of the compartments trim edges
butyl tape for the windows if you are removing them to reseal.
