Caulk

After 2 days of rainy weather, I opened the trailer to find water coming out of the light fixtures, fan and seam in the soft ceiling. Against my better judgement I called the dealer to schedule an appointment but he can't get me in untill end of next week and significant rainfall is scheduled again Monday. I went up on the roof and the only thing I can figure is the side to side seam above the door/fridge area. My local RV store (not my dealer) suggested recaulking so I bought a tube. Looks east enough as it self levels. I'm thinking of taking off as much of the factory caulk as I can and putting on this new stuff.
Any tricks or things I should be aware of as an RV newbie? If you think I should wait for the dealer how about covering the seam with duct tape?? All suggestions appreciated.
Water is not in bedroom, just from the ceiling from the door back to the rear of the coach.
