    Have used pro-flex with good results. Needs to be maintained but stuff can be painted over with minimal cleaning. Goes on runny and thickens up. Thin enough to go down cracks and seal and around screws, plus if you ever have to replace a vent is still workable to remove. Try to remove eternabond tape sometime and clean. Unless you are selling the rv would not recommend.

    Go with the eternabond, It's easy to use(Like a roll of tape) and lets FOREVER. Look to the camper forums for your answers. Make sure you remove the old silicone and clean the surface thoroughly, this stuff will work forever unlike silicone which has to be stripped and resealed roughly every two years. My new Northern Light uses it to seal all roof openings.
    Its expensive but works.

    The grey putty tape under the vent and dicor rv sealant around all horizontal joints and seals. It is flexible and made for rv, it is also self leveling and designed for roofs.

    Tremco make some gnarly caulking products.
    I'd say that or Sika Flex. Either or should be available at a professional grade building supply. Probably not home depot.
    The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

    A mastic caulking would work well as it is compatable with roofing materials and metal.
    Maybe check your local glazing shop for some scrap aluminum flashing and re flash.

    Careful using any old tremco caulking as some are silicone some are polyurethane hybrids, each has their own use.

    My vote would be mastic but there is a lot of good advice above.

    Good luck

    x2 on eternabond. I used it on some stuff too. It was made originally to seal underwater pipes. https://www.google.ca/search?source=....0.pg6s8lEwY-c
