Door and Window seals?

We just purchased a 2020 154BH. I noticed that the sides of the doors and windows dont have anything like the butal that the corners have. There is a black foam gasket material.


Is this normal or did the factory forget to put a final caulk around the sides of the doors and windows?

Unfortunately this is normal.

If there isn't any, I would add some clear silicone caulk along the top seam and a few inches down the side seam of all the windows (like the door)......., those foam/rubber gasket seals can be problematic. Also confirm that all the caulking that has been applied by the factory is adequate (especially the roof area).
