I have used Howard's RV - not for recaulking, though. I was pleased with their service. It sounds like you want to insure that the roof is well maintained, because if it leaks, you will have serious issues. That alone would lead me to the dealer that I trust, not necessarily the cheapest.

10 years ago Newmar had to pay (warranty) to replace all the sidewall/window sealant(No roof sealant involved) that did not have the required UV protection on hundreds of motorhomes/trailers. The Sealant company had to pay the labor/cost. The AVERAGE labor under warranty that a typical 40 foot Newmar required was about 7 hours to do the job correctly. That was on sealant that was less than 2 years old. Doug

I just bought a tube of Dicor self leveling caulk for $9.99 to touch up some places on my motorhome.
So the most in materials should be about $100 if it took 10 tubes. I'm with the others, check on a local handyman in your area.

The closest is 1 1/2 hr drive which is the one I am leaning toward, he said he went high on the estimate probably would not cost that much, I think I am stuck I haven't been down here but 2 1/2 years so don't know that many people. Thanks to all that have responded. Roy
What about:
Ken's Camper Service
2230 Mill Creek Road, Newport, NC 28570
252 725 5525
I know his reviews are all over the place, but would think he could do this okay.

Our local Camping World every now and then advertises a rechaulking the roof for $999 or to me it is $1000.00. When I asked the service desk why and I thought is was expensive, he said to remove all the old chaulk and install new chaulk takes his technician almost the whole day. So labor and the price of chaulk adds up.

I did my 33 ft RV myself...Dicor is abut 8$ a tube here....I used 5 tubes..I haven't done the sewer vent or frig vent as yet, but I guess 2 more tubes of Dicor self leveling stuff will do it...that said, total about 65$..
I would rather do it myself, then I know it is done the right way...good luck

If I was hired to remove caulk from seam areas... I could guarantee you it wouldnt take more than 2hrs to completely remove and clean the areas. Its a total of 20sq ft.
To reapply caulk in the same manner would be fruitless.
