I went to a maintenance seminar put on by the manufacturer of my unit and they did not have a very high opinion of Eternabond and would not suggest it be used anywhere. They suggested it could be used as an emergency patch but that the edges often failed to seal and should have a bead of Dicor applied to seal them.
I have never used it myself, just relaying what the pros said.
Then I would say those pros DON'T KNOW JACK. No manufacturer or business that does RV maintenance is going to recommend ETERNABOND since it cuts into their profits for redoing caulking or having a trailer fall apart so they can sell a new one ... THOSE ARE THE REAL FACTS, IMO. FACT IS while the edge of Eternabond tape might lift it's not a common occurance if you apply it properly and it can be almost entirely eliminated with a tiny bit of sealant along the edges and if an edge does lift the only problem is generally cosmetic and doesn't really effect the rest of the tape that is still adhered to the surface.
