Rain Gutter Extensions

[Egnilk66]

Does anyone use rain gutter extensions?


My rain gutter spouts just seem to dump water down the side of my trailer, leaving behind a trail of muck. I'd like them to drip off onto the ground.

Has anyone mod'ed their gutters or installed aftermarket extenders?

I tried the gutter extensions on my last rv they done a good lob of keeping the water away from the sides. I also put a clothes pin on the end of the extension and the water will run down the pin this takes it farther away from the side or your rv.

It sounds like clothespins are the way to go...

The after-market gutter extensions are a good investment. Coupled with clothes pins, they will do a pretty good job of directing water away from the trailer sides. If you can get the clip-on extensions that will be an easier install.

I bought some of the Camco clip on extensions at Wally World. I lost one somewhere along the way, so I went into a local RV dealer and bought some extensions that are a good bit longer. They were a little more difficult to install because removal of the original shorties are required, but they install with the original screw and a little sealant. They work very well.

The gutter extensions are only a few bucks and work well. Adding a clothespin will work as well.

I will have to try the clothes pin trick, I added the extensions and when it really rains hard it gets a little damp in the drivers front compartment. The water drops right on the hinge for the door. I was thinking of making some kind of shield or cover for the hinge. Jay

Bought the Camco extensions. They worked great UNTIL you even lightly brush a leaf or small twig. Then they are gone. I got tired of buying new ones.

I'll try the clothespins, at least they are cheap and easy.

I hate the hinges that we have. I saw some good ones on a Dutchmen trailer that wouldn't let any water through they look similar to the hinge on the emergency exit windows. Also I replaced my compartment seal with a thicker one a little bit tougher to close the door but doesn't leak when closed anymore
