Any thoughts?

It certainly could be neater but I don’t think this is abnormal or that it will cause any problem. Roof seals need to be addressed every two or three months. There is a lot of flex in an RVs structure and the roof takes a lot of heat and UV. There is a reason Thor and other manufacturers tell you to service sealing at least quarterly and only warranty them for 90 days. Dealers don’t tell you this or stress it enough when you buy but leaks can be quite subtle and are easily overlooked. They are common though and very damaging. Personally, I’m on my roof with fresh dicor at least every other month. Windows and side penetrations too!
