I bought DAP Alex Fast Dry White Caulk as part of my camper van equipment.
Alex Fast Dry is among the finishing materials I bought as the interior moved from an open shell toward panels and trim.
Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The DAP and Gorilla alternatives use clear silicone formulations. Alex Fast Dry uses a white acrylic-latex formulation, so both the material and appearance differ.
DAP Clear Silicone Adhesive Sealant
This clear silicone adhesive sealant comes in a small squeeze tube. Its compact dispensing format provides another option for small sealing and bonding jobs.
