I'm not on the level most of the time (Pun intended).
I'm not getting it. What does level have to do with gutter run off? I would think for a rig to be so far unlevel to affect gutter run off, you wouldn't be able to stand up in it. What am I missing. Thanks, rockin'

Here is how I solved the rain water runoff problem Essential Products RV & Marine - EZE RV Gutters I also put this gutter across the front of the coach, This stops all tha roof run off from getting on the windshield.

Didymop II,

I know Squim has a city ordinance that makes it illegal to rain in town. But, I spent the wettest morning of a five week trip at the State Park there!

Doc,

It looks like you color matched the after market gutters....or is that an optical illusion?

Oh yeah, one more thing I thought of as a bit of a negative with using the clothes pins. The clothes pin upper jaws act as a blocker of debris that collects in the gutter and you have to clean out from time to time. Kinda acts like a plug, yet still allows for water flow. Just FYI.

Are you that cautious and careful when washing that you don't knock them off? My Dad always referred to me as a "bull in a china shop" What a wise ol' man he was!!! If I didn't knock them off washin'......then I'd break them with tree branches that jump out in front of my rig! rockin' .......back to waxin' the Charm.

Looks good, I had seen this advertized but never gave it much thought. Your install looks great gives me some ideas on how I could install on my coach. Thanks for the post and pictures.

The gutters are white.

The EL has a white roof and the beige paint is very light.

The gutters do not match the paint, but they look darn close.

We head to the boonies on Wednesday.

Going to Chickasaw National Recreation Area near Sulphur, Oklahoma and camp in Buckhorn campground. No sewer hook-ups, but does have water and 50A electric. Pray for my straps....

It was Platt National Park from 1906 till 1976. Was one of the smallest NP's, but in the 1920's was one of the most visited.

We are having unseasonably cool weather with rain. High today in the 70's. I hope it lingers for our visit to Chickasaw.

Cell service would be a luxury. WiFi is not a consideration.
