Resealing the RV Exterior Using a Solvent Based Caulk



We are dedicated to showing you both the good and the bad times throughout this renovation. Today’s video is no exception. Resealing the RV exterior was a monster project! From start to finish, this project was challenging both mentally and physically.

One reason why it was so difficult is we needed to completely remove and clean off the old silicone sealant before we replaced it with a much more impressive and durable product. The old silicone was crumbly and brittle and came off one speck at a time. When you have to remove every inch of silicone from around each door, window, light, and every nook and cranny of the rig, it’s a test of perseverance and patience. 28 feet never seemed so big!

The new product we chose to replace the silicone is called OSI Quad*. It’s a multi-purpose SOLVENT BASED caulking that has excellent flexibility and weather resistant properties. We highly recommend because it is very easy to find and is relatively inexpensive (approx. $6 a tube at your local home improvement store). If you are looking for a more clean look to your rig, definitely go with the CLEAR color! The white was very hard to work with and may look better on an all white RV.

*Make sure that you use this type of caulking on the EXTERIOR ONLY. This product does have some strong fumes until it fully cured and should only be used in a well ventilated area.

We’ve also had a few people asking about the natural bug spray (non-toxic) that we used for both ourselves and the dogs. Here it is…
1/2 cup distilled water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
50 drops of essential oil – We used a combination of tea tree, lemongrass, and rosemary (You can also use lavender, peppermint, or citronella).
