Received this in today's mail from Forest River:
 
Rpod models with serial numbers L004101 through L005085 may have inadequate sealant under all four corners where the side bottom rails meet both the front and rear bottom rails.
 
Your selling dealer has been notified of this bulletin so you may want to make an appointment to have this looked into, or you can do the simple re-sealing of the four bottom corners yourself with 650 sealant. The area in question is where the bottom side rails meet in the corners to the rear and front rails. There should be sealant to cover any area of the floor where the rails do not touch one another.
 
For questions contact Susan Thornberg at (574) 642-3119 x205 or your selling dealer.
 
I'd do it myself if it's not too expensive rather than drive to the dealer, but what the heck is 605 sealant and where does one get this goop?

I'll venture a guess that they're talking about TremPro 650.  I've seen it in stock at a large RV dealer near me...

I called Temco, the parent company for the sealant and the 650 sealant is available at Fastenal stores nationwide.

 
go to http://www.fastenal.com/web/home.ex and search using your zip code for the nearest store.

Looks like we fall in to the serial number category for this S/B.

The dealer wasn't aware of this Service Bulletin, so we will have to look into this a little more.
