Hello everyone,
We received our new 2013 Camplite 13QBB yesterday! The trailer will need a very good caulking job. I read almost every thread regarding caulking but couldn't find the answer to my questions. Almost every joints need to be recaulked. Even the seam at the front of the trailer where the aluminium sheets meets as to be recaulked. The thing is that I noticed the trailer was caulked with silicone from the factory. I also know that nothing sticks to silicone and thats it's very hard to remove too. So my question is, what do you do to maintain your joints? Do you recaulk over the old silicone or do you remove it? If so, how do you remove it so that the new sealant will stick properly to the aluminium? I was thinking about using Proflex but that silicone thing is bugging me!!
Thanks for your help........Sylvain
