Are you talking about the screws at the top where the roof meets the wall? There is usually a metal strip there, and sometimes an awning strip. We wrapped the edge with Eternabond roofing tape. This is very sticky stuff and once it is down, it holds well. Presume the Dicor product you mentioned is similar? The Eternabond tape has a peel-off plastic layer with a white vinyl outside layer. It also sticks well to fingers and your pants leg when trying to put the stuff on. But it stops leaks. We used it around all the skylights, on the front and back cap roof seams, and on the metal strip on both sides.

[QUOTE=bbybee;30120]Im new to Rving and have had this Motorhome about 9 months. I was wonder the advantages and disadvantages of taping over my screws along the outer edge of the RV instead of self leveling sealant. I was given several rolls of Dicor Coating-Ready Cover Tape and that look like a more permit as not twice a year way to water proof that area?
