Roof Caulking

My Monty is 7 years old. I have cleaned the roof but never have I done any caulking repair. I have not had any problems with leaks( knock on wood).

I inspeccted the caulking and it appears to be OK. Some cracking but no real deep cracks that expose the inner roof.

What have you done..

On our previous TT, I dug out the old caulk and re-caulked whenever the cracks showed up - you don't want to wait until the "inner roof" is exposed.

Whenever I need to recaulk now, I will use Eternabond. Depending on how bad the old is, I may recaulk first and then put the Eternabond over it. This stuff is a "forever" fix.

When you use caulk anywhere on the roof where it comes in contact with the roofing material, be sure the caulk is compatible with the roofing material. Most RV dealers sell Dicor caulk which is recommended by the roofing manufacturer. However, www.bestmaterials.com sells a compatible caulk for less money.
