OK, let's see if you like this one.
As my RV gets older, I keep trying to avoid problems. As I have a window in the cabover bed, I decided to directly avoid water from going over any of those openings, by putting an RV Gutter over everything in the front of the cab over. Here are the pictures:
As you see, I put an RV gutter arround the window, and a small one over every marker light. This should avoid any water to drain directly into the opening, avoiding one of the biggest sources of water damage.

my water/moisture input seems to be coming from "underneath" the cabover...will those rain gutters work upside down?

Sure, but only for the rain that goes downside up.
After reading all these great tips I thought hard about one to contribute. If you are bringing CDs and DVDs you do not need the hard plastic cases they come in, which take up a lot of room. You can get a binder with pages of pockets and fit a whole lot of discs. Sort of like the ideas with documents or recipe cards, but with CDs and DVDs. Wonder what else could be stored in a binder like this?

It's not uncommon for marker light and cabover window leaks to run down between the inner and outer walls, not showing up until it reaches the bottom.

Me too! I use those plastic photo wallets with pages that have double sided sleeves and are approximately 4X6". I've found them in the photo section at WalMart and also at Joanns Crafts for about a $1.00 each. I can get 36 recipes in one of those. I have one for Crockpot recipes, one for main dishes, one for desserts and I even have one specifically for recent photos!
As stated above...you can carry a bunch of these in less space than a regular cookbook and much less weight too!
Save weight on canisters - use the nesting style tin ones. All of the ones I have right now are antique, but I just ordered some new ones and will be spray painting and decoupaging to match the interior.
