How old is your camper and how long have you had it? The tan colored substance looks like standard plumbers putty to me and totally inappropriate for the connection. Maybe a previous owner did that to "get by" during a trip and thought they would just leave it be?
I'd rip that apart, clean it up and repair it properly.
