Rain Gutter Spout
The OEM rain gutter spouts allowed water and AC condensation to run down the side of the trailer. They were not sealed and did not work properly.
I replaced them with JR Products Extended Rain Gutter Spouts. Installation was simple. Remove the the side rail screw, remove the old spout, slip the new spout behind the rail and on top of the rubber roof and reinstall the screw.
Will post follow up reviews.

I tried that trick on my previous trailer.
The clothspins worked, but got knock off easily and regularly.
They would not have solved my problem on the Excel. The gutters were not sealed under the lip and the water ran down the side. They were basically worthless.

Nice job Doc, I don't use those cause every time I wash the darn thing with the brush I break them off. I still use the old clothes pins and do pretty good. Your right, they do get knocked off when you move. rockin'

Do your OEM gutters leak?
Mine had a gap between the rail and the plastic sout and most of the water just ran down the side of the camper.
The dealer was supposed to caulk it, but did a poor job.
The new ones should solve my problem.

The gutter extensions only come in white and Didymop II has the almond paint job. I bought matching almond spray paint for plastics and painted them before installation. Added silicone caulking in appropriate locations. Work and look great (IMHO).

Yeh, but I guess we need to go places where it rains to see how they work. Certainly not southern Texas or Sequim Washington. Got a bucket of water?

I bought some of them on a closeout a couple years ago, they just clip on over the old ones. Been on for a couple years now and I haven't lost any yet.

I tried the Camco clip on rain gutters. They were not compatible with the existing rail and gutters on my Excel.

The extended rain gutters work like a charm. Roof runoff water is now deflected away from the sides of the trailer. No black streaks. They have not been broken by washing or contact with trees.
I give them a .

You guys must all park where it's perfectly level...
I'm not on the level most of the time (Pun intended).
