I have a 2004 Georgie Boy that has exterior seams that join the front and back to the body. The existing caulk is cracked and I need to replace. Would Dyco 20/20 seam seal caulk be the right choice?

I just used Dicor self-leveling sealant to repair a section of our caulking that had cracked, but I ordered 50' of 4" Eternabond yesterday. When we are someplace where we will have a few days of warm dry weather this summer, I am replacing most of our rooftop caulking with that stuff.

I bought 50' of it simply because that place was selling it for about half what others are asking for a 37' roll.

The product name "Eternabond" says it all. Caulk is temporary.

You are buying peace of mind....When you're laying in bed listening to the rain hit the roof you'll sleep better KNOWING there will be no leaks.

I personally wouldn't buy a used unit that someone has applied this stuff...you don't know WHAT they are covering up.
