How long is RSV contagious? Same for Croup?

RSV is most contagious in the early part of infection - the first 2-4 days - and for up to 3 weeks or longer, in some cases, after the onset of infection.

Most, but not all, croup is viral and self-limited. Transmission doesn't always mean croup but can instead be a cold. Contagion lasts about a week.
