NO Caulk - Seriously???

When we picked up this beauty from a dealer in South Carolina, we certainly knew it would be a project.  We did NOT realize we would have to RE-CAULK the ENTIRE 31' of her!  Yes, I spent the next week while the kids were at school and into the evenings removing remnant caulk and then replacing with Valkem 292 which was replaced by TremPro 626.  Darren shared a trick to smoothing the caulk bead snugly into the seams was to apply the caulk, then put a squirt of WD-40 on your rag-covered finger to smooth it in.  Brilliant!  68 hours, 7 tubes of TremPro 626 and 2 cans of WD-40 later, she was water-tight again!

Here are some photos of her seams before we started:





Then some of the seams as before and after I scraped them clean:
