Title: What kind of caulk?
Post by: Daisy630 on Jul 12, 2007, 05:42 PM
We appear to have a leak in our new to us 1993 Jayco 1208. What kind of caulk should we use?  Thanks everyone!

Go to Camping World and get their Pro-Flex brand caulk---here is a linky--

I've used this on my Fleetwood Timberlake roof, and it seems better than what the factory uses.

A 10-oz. tube will set you back about $6.  The stuff flows easily, and settles to a nice smooth bead--especially if you help it with a (nitrile-gloved) index-finger dipped in mineral spirits.  Start with a small opening in the tip, when you open the tube--it will come out easily, and it is easy to over-apply.  It cures fast, stays flexible, and the white colored-stuff is a very nice, clean, bright white, too.
