I suggest running a MySQL slave in EC2 and then exporting the data from the 
slave:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/MySQL.Procedural.Exporting.NonRDSRepl.html

I recommend checking into Percona's XtraBackup. 
https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.1/how-tos.html

One workflow I can see is 

RDS -> EC2 MySQL Slave -> Xtrabackup -> BareOS Normal File Backups

This give you many recovery options in case of RDS issues.   We don't have this 
in production yet, but something we are considering.

Using xtrabackup allows us to store backups locally on an EBS Volume.   We can 
then snapshot that volume as needed or even move it to another region. 

We will then use bareos external to AWS for last-ditch recovery efforts.
