Ever since I changed out the "bullet-style" compartment door catches for the T-style ones, the door stands out a bit further from the side of the trailer. As a result my A/C condensation dripped right on the front compartment door when it was open, even with the aftermarket gutter spouts.

Apparently due to my German heritage I have inherited a knack for precision engineering, not unlike what would be found in a Mercedes or Porsche automobile. Sooooo, I came up with this as a solution.



Here's a closer look


Hey, what the heck? It works and if you forget to remove it before leaving the CG, it's pretty cheap to replace!

Very nice. I want four. How much are you asking for them? Do they come assembled or with detailed instructions? LOL.

You must be right because when my wife saw it she said, "Well aren't you a genius!"

I have almost the same version on my 5er, the only difference is mine must be the older model as they only came in the single style

Just curious, why does it look like there is such a big bap between the siding and the end cap?

Mildew - that's Florida. About once a year I go over it with bleach water, but it penetrates way into the molding (no pun intended) and never really comes out.

Just go to the nearest bush or tree and cut a limb 4-6 inches long and about 3/8" thick. Split one end two or three inches down and insert this over your gutter. Been using this for years - better than clothes pins and free!
