Yes, but you still have a failed seal and water will still get in.Going down the road, your camper gets pressurized and will actually pull water into the easiest path, and a failed window seal is exactly that. So while your gutter idea works for stationary use, going down the road will still show it leaking.
Like it was said, pull the window and use the tape. It's not hard to do and it's the only proper way to fix the leak.
My pass through window is open and the fan in the cab is always on blowing in. It may not be enough to pressurize the TC but it should reduce the vacuum. Having the drip rail over the window, water is never going to reach the area in question to get in. Also, driving down the road, the vacuum is going to be drawing out, not blowing in depending upon wind tunnel tests to determine where eddies of high and low pressure form along the sides of the TC. Certainly the back wall and door will be a low pressure area and the sides may have high and low zones but I don't think it's going to be significant so water penetration is less of a concern when driving not more.
The rains start back up on Tuesday and I am ready to either have a large celebration with fireworks, or consume a generous portion of crow. I'll update after a few days rain to give it a good chance to fail if it's going to.
