It's probably not from the factory. ALL Keystone products require a quarterly roof check with resealing as required. I'd guess that the previous owner either was "overly protective" and applied more than necessary sealant or the dealership did it. Chances are the OEM sealant was Alpha Systmes or DICOR dove gray and when the "gobbed on sealant" was applied to the roof, whoever did the job didn't have dove gray available, so they used white. Probably they were thinking, "Nobody will notice it on the roof".... Well, you did. Does the sealant mean there's an underlying problem? Maybe/maybe not. All you can do at this point is inspect it carefully, paying close attention to the inside of the trailer in those areas. If you see any signs of water damage/water stains, inspect critically, if you don't see any damage, then watch it closely for future issues. I wouldn't refuse a good deal on the trailer because of white sealant, but I would make sure that it's not covering up something that's important.
