I can only tell you my experience, which is limited to my fiberglas sided trailer; the following may not apply if yours is aluminum:

1) What thickness of Butyl tape should I get (it seemed like 3/16" and 1/8" were common thicknesses
|
I used 1/8 inch and got a good ooze, so I think that is thick enough.

2) After the Butyl oozes out how hard will it be to get off of my camper and what type of chemicals should I use to clean it off with.
|
I used a plastic batter scraper (which my wife donated to the cause) cut to a right angle. Easy to do, no chemicals needed. I'll bet any non-scratching tool would work - some other piece of soft flexible plastic, or a piece of soft wood maybe.

3) After applying Butyl I was going to lay a bead of proflex over the top of the windows and wanted to know if proflex is ok to use?
|
My dealer recommended clear Proflex for this purpose; he suggested across the top and down the sides six or eight inches.

4) I was also going to apply proflex over the top of all my marker lights or do you suggest sealing them some other way
|
Sounds like a good plan to me.
By the way, I found that Jayco did not center windows very well in the cutout hole; you may want to make sure they are centered better than Jayco did so that the sealing area is as large as possible.
