Think what you will but if the guys who build them for a living will not use a product perhaps there is a good reason.
It may be that they only use cheaper, conventional sealants when they are building the trailer. To endorse Eternabond tape as a better/adequate sealing solution may raise the question of why they don't use it when manufacturing.
I can only judge the adequacy of the tapes from my own use and application. Here's my story: I rebuilt an older Starcraft with an aluminum roof. I removed the roof edge trim for repair of the wooden top wall plate underneath. When I reinstalled the edge trim, I applied an elastomeric sealant between the roof membrane and the wall framing, between the wall siding and the framing, and underneath the trim edging. I used new screws to attach the edge trim and bought a new plastic screw cover. I had two small leak areas when the roof work was completed. I then applied Eternabond Web Seal and Eternabond Roof Tape over every joint and every through hole on the roof. I test about every other year, pressurizing the interior. I haven't had any leaks since using the tapes.
