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?
Instead of Eternabond if I was redoing a window I would wrap the opening like the OP suggested with 2"/3" wide aluminum tape. It's extremely thin and would make the opening basically waterproof. You would just have to be careful installing the window to avoid tearing the tape.

That's why I wouldn't use Alum. tape. Way to fragile. Plus, when a screw goes into it, it doesn't have that "self healing" property that EB has. And Shoving a window into a frame, you are guarantied to tear it. PLUS the Alum. tape won't handle expansion/contraction well.
