The gutter's drip on the entry door awning and down the drivers side window of my diesel Bounder. Camping World has some extensions.....but, they don't fit.
Anybody find another product or solution.
Thanks

Here is a previous discussion where several members,(myself included) were looking for gutter spouts/extensions other than the CW type. I believe one of the places mentioned was Lazy Days in Florida. There should be a phone # for them somewhere in the posts.

You could try your dealer.

We don't have a diesel, but our gas Bounder does have spouts that extend away from the gutters to divert the water away from the coach side. When we lost one (probably due to a strategically placed tree limb in some campground) of the spouts, we were able to get a replacement one from Fleetwood (through our dealer) that they painted to match the existing gutter. Fit just like the original.

The ones on our Pace Arrow were too short also. They still dripped down the side and into the window channel. I got the ones from Camping World which as you say didn't fit as far as the snap on way they are supposed to attach. I just modified them a little and drilled a small hole and attached them with small stainless steel screws.

I've heard attaching a clothes pin to the gutter will divert more water away...?????

I have the same problem with my Bounder which is 10 years older than yours. Basically the reason they won't work is that the gutters on Bounders are riveted on and not screw on. The only way to make any gutter extension work is to drill out the rivet, pry out the gutter, slip the extension behind the gutter, and then use a stainless steel screw to screw the gutter back in place.
I guess it depends on how bad you want the extensions. I decided I could live with the gutters as they were!
Good luck,
Jerry

Au contraire, you can attach a gutter extension with a heavy duty adhesive. I used E6000 but I am sure that Gorilla Glue or the like will work just fine.

I purchased some of the entenders from CW to put on my PaceArrow 38-P. I had to use my pocket knife to "make it fit"

I had the same problem. What I did was buy that 10' flexible gutter that you get from camping world and cut it in half. I pulled off the gutter end and modified the flexible gutter to fit the coach long gutter. Then ran it level to the front end cap seal, where the front end cap and body adjoin. Then followed and adhere it down the windshield until it was even with the bottom of the windshield. I then installed and silicon the end cap of the gutter to fit the flexible gutter.

Now when it rains or when the air conditioner water flow, it never gets on the coach or drips in the way. It does look clean looking and seems to be part of the coach’s trim. A lot of times when the wind was blowing it would drip on my mirrors and have water all over the side of the coach. Been happy with it ever since I put it up.........
