Kevin, Curious exactly which caulking gun from Sherwin williams?

During my 8-year part-time college career, on which I did graduate, I was a full-time waterproofing contractor and we used Albion caulk guns. Definitely nice, but overkill for occasional work. I agree with Kevin Loving that you caulked a nice uniform bead, and like Kevin Long, I've caulked a few thousand feet of caulk too. Kudos!

Lol can't get a long enough period of time without a downpour around here. If there is a sealant that works at below freezing temps that would be the stuff. Because winter is the dry season with weeks long stretches of arctic high pressure and sunshine. Summer is full of daily thunderstorms, hailstorms, and even days long deluges.

+Mark Jones thank you!

I’m going to try the Sikaflex 715

@@AllAboutRVs Any update on the Sikaflex 715?

Thank you, Yes it is.

Thanks

I have this exact question as well! Seems from what I’ve seen it’s a matter of preference by the owner- I just resealed my vintage camper vent / came with a known leak - from what I e seen on that some do just lap, some do lap then eterna bond/ I’m doing lap with eterna bond over it. Was wondering same with seams on roof. Glad to see someone else had the same question- not just me

I had 2 different kinds there the leveling and non self leveling.

+Keep Your Daydream yeah you're right, we have always had to purchase it from rv stores. We do usually travel with a tube of it just in case we have a leak that needs to be taken care of right away. We always have lots of projects to take care of once we get back to Arizona. It is so much easier to do here than while we are on the road

Keep Your Daydream I just bought Dicor from Amazon Prime. :)

When your set up at the RV park people do it all the time

@@mattharper588 Not necessarily true. Many RV parks do not allow you to a) use their water supply for washing vehicles/RV or b) even allow you to wash with an auxiliary supply of water.

I’ll just scrub with Dawn in that case. Lazy man’s soap means nothing to RV people.

+Idaho Rider thanks!

I would get 2 tubes of caulking. If it’s not bad up there it might take just one.

All About RV's Thank you so much for your reply! I sincerely appreciate it! Continued successes on your channel!! ☺️

Get rid of the caulking and put a gasket underneath it. Moving shaking twisting boxes of metal going down the road will always need new caulking if that is what you use to seal all things, but you do keep the caulking companies in business.

butly tape or make your own closed cell foam or closed cell neoprene gasket there are even sheets of rubber gasket you can buy to make your own if you can not find a actual gasket for the specific light. If it is "RV" specific chances are they do not make a actual gasket for it.

I just replaced a light for a customer using butyl tape sandwiched between the light and the unit, and finished off with clear Proflex. The Dicor non-leveling caulk would work as well.

Yes correct

All About RV's I finally got up on top of mine, I just bought it used and it’s been icy here. It appears to be metal with some grey paint looking stuff that’s cracked on the edges and where there are any things sticking through. It’s built up thick around the air units and bolts but doesn’t look like tar. I videoed if that’ll help but I’m not sure my next step.

Yes, as much as we possibly can

Make sure your RV is level when using the A/C.

I would stay away from flexseal. RVs are one of the most tricky items to get a good seal on.

Thank you, we love your channel. Stay safe.

Would you use Eternabond?

@@mathewshoyt1763 Absolutely! Check out Love Your RV on KZfaq. He has perhaps gone a little overboard with it, but it seems to have held up well. He has several videos about his use of Eternabond.

Anyone else not happy with Henry’s??

No. RV Stores or Amazon

My wife Kris is farther than the reflection shows in the background😀

@@AllAboutRVs Good to know! I was worried about you for a minute! :)

Welcome to the world of RV`s where the only priority in manufacturing is the speed in which the RV can be completed. Also the engineering is quite bad at best and sometimes horrible. The use the cheapest fixtures and connections throughout and they simply don`t last. If you own an RV - be prepared to learn to fix all kinds of problems. Examples: your propane regulator near the tanks will fail after 5 to 7 years or sooner causing partial or total loss of propane to the stove and heaters. You can get a loss of electricity over the kitchen sink outlet only to find after several hours searching that the Ground Fault on the outlet in the bathroom had tripped and they are connected somehow. The roof requires an annual cleaning - inspection and application of PROPER sealant at any sign of cracking or deterioration. That being said there is a wonderful socialization effect that occurs at any campsite and the friendships made are priceless.

The absolute truth...these are junk..this is why people are converting aluminum cargo trailers. Luan, garden hose and glue. The bonus ...worthless in 10 years

Thanks for update

Silicone won't last as long as Dicor.

You don’t use dicor on side seams roof only the caulk was to be flexible you guys need to quit listening to some body who thinks they know what is best I am a rv tech of 20+ years you use a good grade of silicone and it will last 4 to years if done properly that being said you still inspect all your seams and roof yearly

@@donaldschultheiss4035 Proflex for side seams

Sharon oddlyenough unless you really know what you are doing I don’t recommend proflex I have used it before but I find it really sticky for my taste I prefer temper 645 caulk

That’s tempro 645 that’s what the oems use
