I was much surprised, too, when I first saw it.  AND my glop of caulking even has speckles of sawdust embedded in it!  Also have the sealant spots on top of the air vents...can't figure that one out.

The way the blob on top is applied, I think it might be an extra way to hold the vent cover on to the pipe. Forest River is just trying to help us not lose the vent covers. Smile

Mine is the same.Its even slopped on top of the plumbing vent caps,like the guy was carrying a full brush along the roof. Although unsightly and surprising sloppy it doesn't bother me unless I'm on the ladder doing maintence(although you can see the globs on the caps from the ground)
