I should be done sealing the roof this weekend. All vents and lights are new and all silicone removed and new sealant done. Just waiting for the new TV antenna to install.

My next step is windows. All windows and rubbers are original. Suprising no leaks (yet!). The coach is gutted, so should I remove window frames and reseal them? Or just seal around them? Aslo any other tips?
Thanks

I hate to fix things that aren't 'broke' but if/when it starts to leak and you have to remove the windows over that nice new interior, you'll sure wish you had spent the time while she was naked. Hal

Hal,
If you take time to get to the creves on the outside and wipe it clean then
use a black windshield sealent and push it into the crevis and leave a
small bead, it will last for few years.
We use the sealent from CR Larence, the windo people.
We supply them to or customers, should you not locate some.
