Curt and Scott,

The original sealant that bluebird used was Dyco C-10. It can be
found at most Camping World stores. It sticks well to itself, never
dries out and can be cleaned off with Xylene. Usually only runs around
6.99 per tube. It is a much better sealant than Silicone. You won't
need much, just a small bead on the aluminum mounting flange will do
it. There is usually a good amount left on the flange and coach
mounting surfaces after you pull them apart.
