Yes clear Silicone. Clean the area with a cloth dampened with lacquer thinner, or denatured alcohol. Dry off with another clean cloth. Then caulk. ------------- 2017 ATC 7X20 Custom Toy Hauler 2013 R-Pod 177 (SOLD) 2013 VW Touareg TDI |

| In some areas there is a beige or tan caulk (on the 2015 182g anyway). Is this simply a colored silicone or another product? I've heard that some caulks are not compatible with silicone but I haven't verified. |
