We also have a spot of sealant on both air vents.  With others reporting the same it cannot be sloppy spilling but there must be a reason for it.  Maybe its a signal to the builders that the roofs were sealed and tested.

Thankfully, a big oak tree shields us from prying spaceman eyes..

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

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.
