I've got one of those silly questions. How does one get to the seams, vents, etc. on top of the trailors? Are they sturdy enough to stand, sit, or kneel on? Climb on from the side? Any thing to be careful of? Thanks for laughing with me....and hopefully not too hard at me.

Hi There:
We've also used Vulkem for sealing our windows, etc. The product does come in a gray color and is cheaper from a source other than an RV dealer. There are quite a few Vulkem products. The best for the job is Vulkem 116 as per the Airstream factory tech. I called the company who manufactures Vulkem (Tremco Incorporated - Mameco Division - 800-321-6412) and asked for local
distributors in our area.  The real trick (as with all sealants) is in keeping a small bead to complete a
neat job. I used a large syringe (one that is used in injecting seasoning into meats) without using the needle. It made a nice bead and I must say looks pretty professional for a real amateur.
Good luck,

Ann
