My preferred material is "Bostik seal and Flex" see Seal 'N' Flex® 1 | Polyurethane Sealants | Bostik It is used by quality caravan manufacturers/repairers, as it will allow cyclic flexing when cured. Not the cheapest "Caulk" just the best.

Yep, that's the one recommended to me by the Caravan Repairer at Cabolture Qld. It did an excellent job on my van roof and still good after >2 years.
