I want to re-seal a few areas on the coach and note from my Sealant Callout Sheet sealant A, Winne part # 072889-20-000. I don't mind ordering the stuff from Lichtsinn but wonder if there is a local equivalent (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) available? Does anyone know if this is a silicone-based or urethane sealant?

Thanks.

I don't think it is either, based on what I have received when I ordered caulking. I can tell you for sure that it is not silicone based.

The only place Winnie seems to be using silicone is on screws screwed going into the roof. Silicone is something I would use if I had no other choice as it has a low cohesion factor and when it does come apart, it is difficult to remove and nothing else including silicone will stick to it.

I would stick with what is being recommended by Winnie. Urethane is good material however I would use this only if you remove any existing caulking and start over fresh. I have done exactly that on my coach in some areas and applied 3M 5200.

Winnebago Service resealed my roof yesterday while here attending the GNR. They did a wonderful job and it wasn't that expensive.

Thanks to Chuck our service adviser and the guys that did a nice job.

Here is a link to the sealant that Winnebago uses. I ordered mine from Lichtsinn.

In the Service Tips sections of April 2000 edition of the WIT Club News, they outlined the Winnebago sealant part numbers and correlated them to a product name.

The 0072889-20-000 "Sealant A" is a polyurethane sealant "Manus 75AM", manufactured by a company called Manus Products. I found it on the shelf at the Winnebago dealer.

Here is a link to the product specs.

"Manus 75AM" is a Polyether sealant. This link, MS Polyether, shows many options. I don't know which is best for our application. I would guess the quick curing or quick skinning. Any suggestions?
