Would the (minimal) thickness of the Eternabond interfere with the window seating properly on the butyl tape?
I'm thinking it could leave a small gap between the window and the side of the RV.
Maybe it would be better to just use the tape they use on houses?
The E-Tape would be pretty flat like the camper sides and the butyl would still act the same as it would squish down just like it does when applied sans E-Tape. Perhaps having the EB be a bit more recessed back from the perimeter of the window trim/frame so the butyl laps over that edge may be a good way. But I don't think it's needed as water isn't going to get under the edge of the EB if properly applied.
I wouldn't be surprised if the tape used on houses isn't just a different form of EB. Though, due to being covered by all the house cladding and trim, it's not exposed to weather and sun. EB is designed to be exposed to all that, so I wouldn't go and use the house stuff on an RV necessarily. It also may not take as much movement as EB does.
