It seems like everything on the exterior of the camper has some type of sealant around it. It effectively keeps me from removing stuff I want to change just because of the removing sealant and resealing hassle. What kind of sealant is used at places like jack brackets and electrical outlet cover plates? |

Thanks Tinbender. The stuff definitely gets a dingy look. I thought it was silicone initially. I'll try the mineral spirits. |

If its not on the roof I use Geocel, both clear and white. Mineral spirits will melt it away if needed. Mineral spirits will clean the dirty looking surface of the sealant that washing with detergents won't. |

Maybe Dicor? At one point they were using Geocel - but I'm not sure that it matters.
The stuff still has to be scrapped off.
I'd try using a heat gun to soften it while scrapping, then try cleaning with mineral spirits and a rough rag.
It's nothing less than tedious time consuming work - but done right, provides some peace of mind when the wet weather hits.
