I like to take a 2" chip (disposable ) brush and cut the bristles off so it is stiffer.
Also I put the goop I happened to have on hand in a pot of water on the stove for a while to heat and soften it:
Put the ladder CAREFULLY up against the top edge of the trailer (some trailers you may want to put a board between the ladder and the trailer so you don't dent the corner or awning rail. I always use lumber to walk on! Try to span the ribs under the roof skin.
The spots where I figure the water is getting in are evident to these old rv roof leak chasing eyes...
Dip your brush into the middle of your can of goop (it will be softest there after heating) and smear a good generous amount into and around the cracks along the seam. We are not concerned with it looking nice here. Our goal is to get this old treasure through another Winter with no more interior damage from leaks.
It will look like this if done correctly:
