Not the best constructed or electrically wired new motorhome I've ever seen ... but not the worst either, one nearly three times the price gets that award .....

What the ...??? again ...

musta spilt bird seed under the rubber ...!!!

vik...

It's the rubber/silicon in the compound they love, same with tv cables, exposed solar cables and I've even seen the results of irrigation wiring being vandalised by these buggers of birds ..... actually, even the windscreen rubbers on some cars many yrs back when they were trialling a different compound in an attempt to reduce the rubber splitting and shrinking causing windscreen leaks, they then went on to vulcanising the windscreen to the vehicle and it later became a structural member of the vehicle ... From memory it was around the Holden HQ era they started vulcanising the windscreen, so it must have been prior to that ....

NZ’s Kea birds are notorious for ripping out the windscreen rubber on cars. Especially those on hire cars driven by tourists.
Also window trims, radio aerials, shiny bits…

That stuff is amazing, sticks underwater, is tacky enough to hold stuff in place while it cures, there is version that holds even better while drying, but don't get it anywhere you don't want it and wear throw away gloves, it's not that it attacks the skin, but it attaches and just won't let go, get it up the arms etc and it makes waxing look like an wannabe product ..... all the hair and a lay of skin comes off when you try to remove it
