Filling in larger holes

Ok today i made a little more room for the water door and drilled the holes to secure the city water connection.

I was wondering after I CPES and paint Charley, and start putting fenders, front marker lights and water connections what would work well in sealing these holes. Was thinking that spray foam that is used to seal windows and doors in homes. What did you use? Also did you chaulk around these fixtures? Thanks

My city water connection came with some putty tape. I would get some from from the RV place before I used caulk.

:thumbsup: Yep butyl tape or some gutter seal. Be sure to do all your painting first so it will come off again. I wouldn't use silicone as it can be quite permanent and doesn't allow anything to stick to it.
