Thanks cumminsfan. I just did the caulking. I used blue painters tape on the black edges of the window, but, I didn't put it on the RV wall. That would have probably been a big help. As you described, it is tough to work with and messy and hard to remove once it comes in contact with a surface. Of course my work looks amatuer, but I think I got a good seal on the top and two sides. It is supposed to rain after midnight tonight, and I think I can put the awning out a few feet and that should keep it mostly dry, but I think it would be OK anyway....it does set up fast.
One piece of advice is to not try to put a lot of caulk in the seam. Unless you have a big valley to fill, the stuff will just squish off to the sides as you smooth the seam making a mess to both sides. The tape will greatly solve that problem, but just use a little smaller bead than you "think" you will need.
Thanks to everyone on here that offered advice and tips. It helped greatly and I think I got my issue solved now.
