Default Window Seals

We have a 2000 Towlite 220TL and need to replace all the exterior rubber window seals. I have called several local camper dealers and doesn't seem to be something that they can get.

Does anyone know where I might be able to get the seals from?

I did and they said they don't carry that. After doing some research online I guess it's not called window seal but exterior rubber window molding.

The seal used behind the window frame is butyl rubber tape/sealant. It comes in rolls of many widths and thicknesses and colors. Camping world carries it. You can also get it from companies that sell log home packages. If you get rolls that are too wide just roll it out and cut to the correct width with a pizza knife. After reinstalling the window and trim some of the butyl rubber will squeeze out, clean it off then run a bead of lexal sealant/caulk around the outside trim and the side for a second seal. Do the same for vent and door trim.

I think you are referring to the rubber part that seals the glass and the aluminum window frame? on my trailer one of the windows has slow drip when we get rain and the rubber that seals the glass has hardened and wasn't sealing good, I applied a bead of lexal sealant/caulk in clear color and it seems it has stopped the drip, after it dries in clear color it can be painted grey or just leave it clear and the original color shows thru it and it seems ok for the fix.
