Not a "general purpose" caulk or one that you can apply layer upon layer, but butyl tape works well. It is not expensive and easily and cleaning removed.

It is designed to be used as a "bedding compound" where the item you are trying to seal can be removed in order to replace the butyl. Used on many boats around windows because of the enormous amount of effort required to remove old caulk.

Butyl is my favorite only when compressing two objects.

I've only kept 1 trailer long enough to require a re-caulk and used Lexell, the cats meow.

"Siliconizied" latex caulk is not really silicone. It should be removable.
