Hello

I just picked up an 05 trail-cruiser c19

the rear tend end looks good but the front need's attention

in both top corners of the front tend end the caulking is cracked.

there looks to be alot of caulking there and should probably be removed and re-applied.

how do you remove the old stuff without damaging the vinyl?

what do you use to re-caulk?

thank you

You can ask at the local trailer supply shop. They tend to be very helpful.

I have the same calking on both my bunk ends. It seems to be holding up nicely and, I believe, is just a precautionary leak preventative. I would think it could simply have a second layer put over the first peeling up what may be loose on layer one.
