1977 AS Ambassador 29'

Hello to all,
I need to know what kind of sealant to use around the exhaust fan (outside) in the bathroom, had a leak this past week and looks like the sealant on the top is cracked in couple places.
Question #2-- does anyone know where and what to ask for when ordering the 1" blue striping for the outside. If anyone has ordering info sure would appreciate it. Just replaced my 120VAC to 12vDC converter, and need to replace AC unit as well.
Question #3-- what type of paint to use for around the hook-up outside, frame has a little rust beginning to show and want to fix it while in the fixing mood.

Any help to these questions appreciated.

#1 - you might consider replacing the vent gasket too - since you're in the fixing mood

#2 - dunno - but a search on "1" blue tape" returned this... reply #10 is interestsing.

#3 - Por-15 seems to be a paint/restorer of choice for frame work.

C and G trailers in Bellflower, CA should have the plastic insert for the lower blue stripe.

Got the blue insert and replaced it. Repaired the bathroom exhaust fan. The fan was disintegrated, reason for leaking. Found a replacement blade and with modification fixed it to fit shaft on my motor which was good. Used sealer that comes in rolls and sticky stuff
to seal with.
Thanks for all the help and responses.
