I see Winnebago has that info for their rigs.
Does Monaco, Holiday Rambler have a Sealant Callout Sheet?
I cannot find one.
Thank you.

I need it for my Front Cap to the main body. NOT self leveling and I think I want CLEAR. Definitely not white.
Thanks.

I used Pro-Flex clear inbetween the cap and the body followed by dicor. But you don't want self leveling / dicor...

Thanks DAVL.
Will the Dicor stick to the Proflex. I assume it did since you used it.
Also, why did you use both?

Keep in mind that I had the cap removed (rear). I suspect that's not what you are doing?
The Proflex went between the cap and the roof / sides as a sandwich. The Proflex dries but remains flexible but has good tack for areas that it shouldn't be removed. That's why it was used there. Once the cap screws were snugged, the oozing Proflex was cleaned off. The Proflex and the dicor never really "see" each other. Just at the very edge of the gap.

The Dicor is for external water locking the seam if there was a break in the Proflex joint(s). The Dicor is intended to be removed and replaced periodically. It doesn't adhere with lots of stick that makes removal a problem. I suspect you want Dicor. Any reason why not white? Silicone is not great for this spot as it is likely it will need to be removed for maintenance and it's hard to remove and nothing will stick to hard silicone (including new silicone).

All the body seams other than the roof on the Newmar MA is clear pure silicone. A project I need to do once I figure out what to do to finish the painting...

Good reply DAVL, thank you.
Why not white?, because it would stand out really bad on the dark brown color. I would use black first but I would prefer clear. The spot needing repair is on the passenger side where the front cap slides into the main body, at the round down area. I have some kind of tape I found around here that is silver to stop the leak for now. Pretty thin stuff but seems to be holding up. The leak found it's way into the bathroom which is about the middle of chassis. I will see if I have a picture of that area somewhere that is ready to attach.
Yes, seems like Dicor is in order here.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. Attached is a pic showing my MH colors. White would really stand out on the brown, don't ya think.
P.SS. Wished I was there in that pic right now. Hwy 79 between Phoenix and Tucson. Lots of places to pull off the hwy for the night. Although, it may be a little HOT right now.
