    Camper jack attachment durability

    By the time head of the screws/lags show rust/corrosion the wood has already been rotting for 2-3 years. I'll remove the jacks and replaced the factory caulking with Sika 715. It's a STP (silane terminated polymer = UV protection + amazing stretch) used on EPMD roofs.
