Haven't a clue.......whatever it is the 'installation' is hideous and very 'redneck' (I know redneck)
I'll be watching this post for answers
GPS Antenna is good possibility BUT WHY all of that 'caulking' ????

I've got about 5 antennas or receivers across the top on my Magna. The Sirius says Sirius on the top of it.

Peel off the ugly stuff and have a look. Maybe someone cut holes for something and removed whatever before selling/trading it. At least you can do a nicer looking sealing job I hope.

Yeh it looks pretty rough. On roof replacing antenna and looking around could not figure out what this is. I guess it could be gps and Sirius. Never thought about that. Therefore the question. I figure someone will know for sure.
Take care and thanks for the responses.

Could they be mounting locations for air horns that have been removed?

Dicor, Proflex etc.......caulking used as sealant on RVs
And if THAT is how it s suppose to be applied then 'monkeys with a stick' must be the preferred installer 
That is just hideous
