It is recommended that the caulking and sealant used in external seams and joints
such as window frames, light bezels, beltline and rub-rail molding, etc., be checked
regularly. If this material has dried out and becomes cracked or checked, or if a portion
has fallen out, it should be replaced with fresh material to prevent possible rain leaks.
Caulking and sealing material is available from your motorhome dealer and most RV
supply stores.
