Suggestions for roof leak

[JimChow]

I brought our trailer home today to get ready for a trip next week and found water damage on the ceiling/roof from a leak around the fan in the bathroom. I think it came in around the fan and after inspection found the caulking/sealant around the fan on the roof looks suspect.
Here's the problem, both RV shops near me are closed today for the Labor Day holiday so I cant get Dicor. We are expecting rain for the next 3 days. Is there another sealant I can use that Home Depot or a good hardware store might carry?

How bout a tube of caulk?, not silicone though, too hard to remove without damage. Remove and leveling Dicor when you can get it.

I wonder if plumbers putty would work as a temporary fix?

Thanks for the suggestions. I bought a tube of Quad caulk, didn't say silicone on it. I hope it holds for a few days until I can get dicor. Now to repair the water damage.
