It is an antenna.
Looks like this one does but it may not be the same.

RV's normally come from the factory with an antenna.
ETA: Just saw the pic- it does look like a satellite to me. Did you buy the rig used? It might have been installed by the previous owner.

I have read here where that has been done, I would not like it that way.

I wouldn't do it myself, but I don't really see an issue that would be a cause of concern. Again assuming that the hole inside is sealed.

Just as Ford Idaho said, it picks up signals poorly in any direction. BTW if you have any other questions it would help if you tell us what kind of RV it is (make, model, year).

One salvation, you don't have to remember to lower it when you travel.
