How to Remove RV Caulk
There comes a time when you're up on the roof of your RV and you notice that age and mother nature have taken their toll. The UV rays, rain, wind and hail can cause the caulk on the roof to dry up and crack. If the caulking is replaced you can prevent future leaks and save yourself a bill for repairing the interior and/or roof. Removing old caulking is an easy project that you can do at home.
