Fran, I see no reason why sikaflex will not do the job. It is a high quality sealant.
As for the "white rubbery tape", are you sure its not plastic joiner strips? They use these to join lining togeter in caravans and I assume motorhomes are similar. If so you should be able to get them at the BigB hardware store. If rubber, maybe try Clark Rubber.

There are lots of Sikaflex grades. The one you need is "Sikaflex Pro".
Cheers,

The tape is possibly more for aesthetic reasons? You could run the tape over the Siko flex before it dries?
I have used acrylic paint and clear coat to give extra sealing .. It dries fast and can be used in your driveway..
If not there's marine clear coat at Bunnings for a non porus protection..
